Lemonade berry

Lemonade berry (Rhus integrifolia), a shrub or small tree native to California and the Pacific Islands of Mexico, thrives in full sun with varying soil types, from light sandy to heavy clay. Known for its edible fruit, this plant is commonly found in dry to moist environments within its native range. One distinctive feature sets it apart: its leaves are entire, meaning they lack any teeth or lobes along the edges. This adaptable perennial can grow up to 2 meters tall and contributes to the landscape with its ornamental value while providing a food source for those familiar with its use.
