| Growth |
| Medium |

| Habitat |
| Garden origin. |
| Flower Description |
| The flowers are larger than in A. arborea and more numerous than seen in A. laevis, and are pure white and fragrant. |
| Fruit Description |
| Fruit is purple to near-black, generally being similar to, but larger and more succulent than, the fruit of A. leavis. |
| Propagation |
| Propagate through layering. May also use seeds, but unless the plant is isolated the result is unlikely to come true. It is also important to note that spring-sown seeds may take up to two years to germinate. |
