Edibles

Also known as Midgen Berry or Sand Berry, Austromyrtus dulcis Midyim Berry is one of the most delicious native bush tucker plants—often compared to the blueberry for its sweet, tangy flavour and speckled appearance. Small, starry white flowers appear in early summer, followed by masses of white berries dotted with purple specks from late summer into early autumn. The berries can be enjoyed fresh, or used in pies, jams, and preserves. Midyim Berry forms a dense evergreen shrub with new bronze to burgundy foliage maturing to rich green. It grows up to 2 m high but can easily be kept smaller, making it ideal for home gardens, edible hedges, and narrow borders. Hardy and low-maintenance, it is rarely troubled by pests or diseases, performing well in full sun to part shade.

Soil: Any well-drained soil.
Conditions: Full sun to partial shade. Frost and coastal tolerant.
Size: Height 0.50-1m x width 1m

Rubus Thornless Blackberry is a gardener’s delight — vigorous, productive, and easy to harvest without the worry of sharp spines. These hardy berry shrubs produce masses of sweet, dark purple to black fruits through mid to late summer, following a charming display of white or pink blossoms in late spring. The glossy, dark green foliage forms a dense, bushy plant that makes an attractive addition to the edible garden or a soft feature along a fence or trellis. For best results, prune during winter or early spring to remove old, weak, or damaged canes and maintain a tidy, open shape. Thornless Blackberries thrive with strong support and regular care, rewarding you with an abundant harvest year after year.

Pomegranate Wonderful is a popular fruiting tree prized for its vibrant flowers, ornamental appeal, and large, flavourful fruit. In spring, the tree produces striking red blooms that contrast beautifully with its glossy green foliage. These flowers develop into large, round pomegranates with a deep crimson skin and juicy ruby-red seeds. The fruit has a rich colour and a pleasantly tangy, refreshing flavour. It can be enjoyed fresh, juiced, or added to salads, desserts, and sauces. Compared with some varieties, the seeds are less woody, making them easier and more enjoyable to eat. This variety is self-fertile, so a single tree will produce fruit without needing another plant for pollination. Regular watering while the fruit is forming helps improve fruit quality and encourages a better crop. Once established, the tree is relatively hardy and makes both a productive and attractive addition to edible gardens.

Soil: Plant in a free-draining soil as trees dislike waterlogging. 
Conditions: Pomegranates grow well in areas with cold winters and hot, dry summers. Drought tolerant once established, pomegranates will also tolerate coastal conditions and frost.
