The Scimitar Berry is a well known and popular plant in the Demon Kingdom, by Draconius and Demons alike, for multiple reasons.

First of all, it uses excess magic to grow, requiring very little sunlight, if any. Nor much water. It's a magical plant.

Second of all, it's berries are delicious and very nutricious, and it's leaves are used as a spice. Both are also useful in potions.

Last of all,  it has branches without leaves, but rather these braches have blades on either sides and are curved, giving the plant it's name. Should a hostile presence approach the plant (or basically anyone who wants to pick the berries while they're still unripe) the branch will suddenly bend, giving whoever is there a nasty cut. It will then swipe at them with other branches, while retracting the original branch to attack again. A domesticated tree will follow the will of it's owner.

Foreigners have often attempted to pick the berries, only to discover it's nasty ability. Most got the idea that the tree was attacking them. And ran.
