Lycium oxycarpum is a long-lived, much branched shrub to small tree, with curving, rigid, spiny branches. The narrow, yellowish-green leaves may be grouped or spirally arranged, and are found growing on branches, branchlets and on the spines. The Honey-thorn is reportedly summer dormant in very dry areas or during severe drought. The fruits ripen to a bright orange-red and appear shortly after the flowers. The fruits are oblong-shaped berries with numerous small, flattened seeds and are much sought after by birds.Flowers Description a slender cream coloured tube opening out with 5 rounded mauve lobesSeason - Winter to Spring
