Hi dear @ctrl-alt-nwo good to see you again with another amazing plant called the Duranta.
The genus, Duranata, honors an Italian botanist and papal physician named Castore Durantes. Durantes are subtropical plants and are grown as perennial shrubs in the southern-most parts of America.

They produce graceful, dropping branches, a few thorns, bright green leaves and numerous small blue, voilet, or white flowers which bloom best in full sun throughout the year followed by golden fruits.
Duranta does well in either acidic or alkaline soils and is somewhat resistant to disease and insect attack. It can be propagated by sowing the seed in the spring or from greenwood cuttings.
Duranta attracts birds which feed on the fruits and has one of the few flowers that attract both hummingbirds and butterflies. Many Duranta attarct bees also.
The berry is said to be toxic so keep away from pets and children.
Thank you for your precious time and support.
