I have a few Midgen Berry aka Midyim (Austromyrtus dulcis) tubes in stock for $8 each.

Midgen Berry is a slender shrub, often growing to one metre in height by one metre in width. It occurs naturally along the coast of northern NSW and southern Queensland, and has attractive pink new growth and white flowers.
Midgem berries are very highly regarded bush tucker, and are often considered one of the tastiest native fruit. The soft white berries are covered in purple specks, and typically ripening in two flushes, in summer and again in autumn. They are soft and sweet, and the pulp melts in your mouth. The berries are great raw, added to a cheese platter, cereal or fruit salad, or made into jam and added to apple pie.
A popular horticultural species, being hardy, adaptable, edible and attractive, it favours shady sheltered spots but will also tolerate full sun and frost. Midgen Berry is also known to attract native stingless bees and small birds.
Message me if you're interested.

[tarenna]

Do your midgen berries get affected by myrtle rust? I haven't seen fruit on them up here since myrtle rust arrived. Same with scrub turpentine (Rhodamnia rubescens)...

[vual]
