The fruit of the fuchsia is a very sweet and enjoyable little plum shaped delight and at this time of the year they are ready for eating...very often overlooked and discarded as they are like a small purple olive but the flesh is a treat (don't eat the pips) and you will find most gardens have at least one Fuchsia plant in them...this year the fruits are very small and not good but in recent years there has been a bumper crop...I love them.
