Berry fruit

Wonderberry (Solanum retroflexum), also known as Sunberry or Garden Huckleberry, is a compact fruiting shrub valued for its profusion of deep purple berry clusters. Easy to grow and versatile, it thrives in warm, sunny conditions and can be grown in garden beds or containers. While berries are edible when fully ripe, they are often best used in cooked preparations like jams, jellies, or syrup due to mild raw flavor.
