Dead heading is to remove spent blooms so the plant doesn’t waste energy making seeds and will continue to bloom.
It’s in the name itself.
But the fruit is delicious! Just be sure to be careful of the sharp little hairs (glochids), they're no fun to get out of your skin.
What for?
Our tortoise dose like to eat them.
