Spread by birds, the seeds of indigoberry sprout
throughout its range of South Florida, and much of Tropical America.
They ripen from green to white and are filled with a blue pulp, from which
dye was made (before WWII). |

Below, is an indigoberry in between a jamaica caper and a
pineland privet. Over time, these three will form an impenetrable
thicket that your neighbors will not want to crawl through.
Below right, indigoberry makes a nice background
companion to classy croton Baron Rothschild. |
