Clair, Ceherzog is excellent on identifying almost any kind of plant. You can always rely on her to give you the right answer. I knew it as Natal Plum when I lived in Sarasota, but had forgotten the name. I always thought it was related to Jasmine, but I do not know for sure.
alice, I thought it was Jasmine too! Are they related to the Natal Plum?
ceherzoh, although I don't have any pictures with the "plums", I do recall seeing them on these plants the last time I was there. Thank you for the ID!
