Muntrie Plant

Kunzea pomifera

- Kristine ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Muntries taste like a granny smith apple with a touch of eucalyptus. They're sweet, delicious, and make an amazing ground cover.

Muntries' woody branches and tough leaves make them exceptionally drought and pest tolerant. Their toughness makes them ideal for a balcony gardener or someone with little time to maintain a productive garden.

After 5 years, one muntrie plant produces KILOS of fruit which sell to restaurants for over $80 per kilo.
