Bahama Berry Nashia inaguensis
Bahama berry (not to be confused with Bahama Betty, which is, of course, a
completely different topic) is naturally found in Eastern Caribbean islands,
where it crawls along in sunny, rocky outcroppings, semi-protected from steady
high winds.
A loose shrub with informal branching to 7' high, it manages to work in
formal situations. It takes trimming well. In fact, the
bonsai people enjoy working with it, due to its miniaturized features.
Fragrant citrusy foliage and tiny flowers cause crowds of nectar-seekers to
behave like paparazzi who have just come across Angelina Jolie at the
supermarket in her nightgown.
The flowers (and the berries) can be considered to be somewhere in size
between tiny and miniscule, but are big enough add a charming, early-morning
fragrance to your garden.
