Carissa macrocarpa is a tree or shrub that is not native to California.
[Wikipedia] Origin, Taxonomy: Carissa macrocarpa is a shrub native to tropical and southern Africa. It is commonly known as the Natal plum and, in South Africa, the large num-num. In Zulu, as well as in the Bantu tribes of Uganda, it is called Amathungulu or umThungulu oBomvu. In Afrikaans the fruit is called noem-noem.
Danish naturalist Christian Friedrich Ecklon described the Natal plum. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
