Midyim Berry Plant

Austromyrtus dulcis

- Kristine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Midyim Berries (aka midgen berry or sand berry) is one of the most delicious bushfood plants. Native to the sub-tropical eastern coast, they are hardy and grow in cool conditions well.

The Midyim Berry shrub grows white berries with purple dots that taste sweet, mildly spicy and super delicious. They're a great habitat for bees and butterflies, and grow extremely well in pots.

Fruiting occurs immediately, with peak fruiting after 3-4 years.

Native bushfood plants are a fantastic suburban addition that produce kilos of fresh, nutritious flavours that can be used fresh, in preserves, or in a roast salad. They are indigenous to this land so if you're going to grow plants for food, why not make them Australian native food plants?

Healthy Plant

Plant was well packed and seems to be doing very well in the garden. I’ve only just received it so can’t comment further but can’t wait for it to fruit. Thanks so much fo bringing these wonderful plants to the public.

Prompt service and great packaging - very happy

Heaven sent.

Thank you for my Crystal, Finger Lime. I had it in a small container inside for a few days, and recently potted it with an organic mix which looks like a mixture of rotted gum leaves and twigs, which is good. I talk to her every day and breathe upon her. (carbon monoxide) Today she enjoyed her first rain shower. I am going to name her ( appropriately) Crystal. She is slim and shapely and oh, so pretty like a young Native Australian. We shall become good friends and I am sure she will reward my TLC with much fruitage in the years to come. Thanks again, wishing you all the best with your enterprise. Margaret Gould. p.s. Looking forward to receiving my Dreaming Tea.

Thrilled to have one in my garden.

Gorgeous and healthy little tree arrived safely and now happy in a pot. Am so looking forward to this one growing and fruiting in a couple of years! Thank you Melbourne Bushfoods for providing native food plants that we can grow and harvest from. Fantastic initiative.
