This was in the back of the house and I thought it was a rhododendron but I just noticed it gives fruit. I opened one of these things and I licked it out of curiosity. It seems to taste like a sweet Cherry with a mild stringent after taste. I assume I'll live since this was yesterday. So what the heck is this plant? It has waxy leaves.

I was surprised how quickly it recognized that plant. Needles to say I'm not licking it again.
