hottentot
Reply:Yes - it's a Hottentot Fig. Funny - that was one of the answers in the Sunday Express' crossword yesterday, but I think it was worded differently.
Reply:Try Carissa macrocarpa. Makes an impenetrable hedge as well. White flowers, large red fruits very good to eat and thorns suited to African conditions. Shiny green leaves.
