When gathered, they are hung up in bunches, when they become frozen, keeping good till the spring. They are used for tarts and jellies, the frost neither altering their colour nor flavour.

The beaches of the Teffe form groves of wild guava and myrtle trees, and during most months of the year are partly overflown by the river.
