The leaves and stems have a pleasant citrus scent when crushed, making it a perfect addition to any garden. The hairy red drupes can be brewed into a tea or soaked in hot or cold water for a refreshing lemonade-like drink. This plant prefers well-drained soil, can grow in nutritionally poor soil, and can tolerate drought.

With caution, the leaves and stems can be used to treat colds, stomach aches, and bleeding, while the fruits help reduce fevers and may improve late-onset diabetes. Additionally, the leaves are rich in tannin and can be used for dye or as a mordant, while the extensive root system of this plant helps prevent soil erosion.
