Mid-Autumn in N.E. Downunder - Duranta repens flowering and fruiting

Yes Marguerite, all the time. Lots of butterflies and bees are always hovering around the flowers.

Oh yes, Marguerite. I've spiked myself a few times when pruning them back, and my husband had a truly horrible time cleaning up the mess when all twenty stands of them were sent crashing to the ground during Cyclone Yasi. His hands and arms were scratched quite badly during the clean-up.
