Black Rhombus Delcova

== Desc ==
Black rhombus is a rare species of tree across southern New England south to Florida. Very deep purple leaves are present year round. They are roughly rhomboid in shape. These leaves are few fine teeth. Twigs and young bark are also a deep purple. Fruits are purple, blue or dark red. They are quite small and more rounded then most Delcovas. They are elliptical, but still have a jelly bean look to them. They are very tasty, and are described to taste quite sweet. Like rubrum, the black rhombus has a cherry soda like taste to them. Seeds are external, which surround the fruit. Flowers are 2-3 inch long catkins. Catkins are a mix of pink and purple, sometimes with some white mixed in. Catkins are very fragrant.
