I was wondering if the colour of the leaves on your plant is due to camera &/or lighting OR if it's from iron chlorosis as the veins appear to be a darker green than the rest of the leaves. I know you're growing it in a very acid medium but wondering if you are also giving it a source of iron or any other micronutrients. Comments, please?

I have had this plant for 20 years. I have played many a joke on my friends and family with it. I quite enjoy the fruit. Being a diabetic and having a sweet tooth is not good but this lil berry allows me to eat some fruits that lack suggar and are sour to taste sweet. I have not as yet been able to grow more than a couple of plants from seed, been told you can grow them from cuttings.
they are quite tollerant of cold,dry,wet feet,[saturated from heavy rain] I fertilise it twice a year with chookpoo, it fruits continuously for about four months [flowers then fruits] 3 to 4 times per season mid spring to mid autum.
