Portugese crowberry (Corema album)

Portugese crowberry

Portugese crowberry is a small, evergreen shrub that thrives in the sandy soils of coastal regions. Its tough, needle-like leaves, which help to conserve water in windy and saline conditions, sit amongst white, slightly fragrant flowers. The dioecious nature of portugese crowberry means separate male and female plants exist, with the females bearing striking white berries that contrast against the dark green foliage.
