Meet Myoporum montanum Waterbush — a hardworking little tree that’s as practical as it is interesting. From late winter through summer, it produces clusters of small, fragrant flowers with delicate white petals speckled in purple. These are followed by berries that hang around through the warmer months, adding both visual appeal and a tasty bonus. Those berries aren’t just decorative — they’re edible and full of character. With a unique bitter edge balanced by salty-sweet notes, they can be enjoyed fresh or used to elevate both sweet and savoury dishes with a distinctive twist. Also known as the “Western Boobialla,” Waterbush naturally thrives in coastal dunes, river flats, and even salty environments, making it incredibly tough and adaptable. Fast-growing and easy to shape, it responds beautifully to pruning, making it ideal as an edible screening plant. It also performs well in medium to large pots, so you can enjoy its beauty and bounty even in smaller spaces.
