How it's used
This term refers specifically to a plant species known for its small, edible berries that turn from red to dark purple when ripe. It is primarily used in botanical or agricultural contexts rather than in daily casual conversation, as the tree is more commonly found in wild or rural areas of Hong Kong. You might encounter it while hiking in country parks where it is a native species.
