Turkey berry seeds - Fruit Plant

Turkey berry seeds produce warm-season perennial shrubs with an upright, branching growth habit and spiny stems. These plants are well adapted to tropical and subtropical climates and perform best in warm conditions with consistent sunlight. Turkey berry plants tolerate a range of soil types, provided drainage is adequate, and establish steadily with moderate moisture. They are commonly grown in garden plots, field settings, and naturalized areas where they develop into dense shrubs over time.
