Morphology

dark-fruited = dark + fruited (transparent) = dark + fruit + ed

Formed from the adjective 'dark' and the adjective 'fruited' (fruit + -ed); meaning is directly 'having dark-coloured fruit'.

Etymology

The word dark-fruited is a simple joining of dark ('without light' or 'deep in colour') and fruit ('fruit'). It gives a clear picture of branches full of deep-coloured berries, so a dark-fruited plant is one that has or bears dark-coloured fruit.
