Webmaster visited Ibaraki Prefecture, north to Tokyo, last week. And he found Japanese Helwingia (hanaikada, Helwingia japonica) shrubs are bearing fruits.
As shown in the previous blog (2017-05-18) , hanaikada is an indigenous shrub in Japan which has flowers on its leaves.
Consequently, they have fruits on their leaves. Doesn’t it look curious?
When the fruits ripen, they become black.
End.
