Fewer than 150 of these existed in the wild less than two years ago, so plant one and help an endangered species survive. It's a great revegetation species if you're on acreage, and the abundant fruits are sought-after bushtucker for very tasty jam and chutney. Put us down for a jar!

CARE: Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks, and in dry spells. Protect from frost.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: 7 - 10m H x 6 - 8m W
YOUR PLANTS: These are tubestock plants, young healthy plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80 mm x 42 mm wide.
