🔍 When is it ripe?
Leaves harvested year-round as a bay leaf substitute — much stronger than culinary bay, so use half as much. Ripe purple berries (September–November) can be roasted and eaten like chocolate-flavoured nuts after removing the skin.
Large specimen mostly fenced but overhangs alleyway. Nuts fall in Sept-Nov, tasty when dried and roasted, but often will find only the husks because the squirrels seem to really like them. Currently covered in flower buds but no open flowers.
