Austromyrtus tenuifolia & Austromyrtus dulcis – midgen berry

I planted this along at the bottom of the eastern fence several years ago but it became overshadowed by a more vigorous westringia. Earlier this year the Westringia went and with the new access to light and space this little shrub has grown well. It is now quite leggy but I read it responds well to pruning and shaping. The flowers and berries are very pretty.

In 2017, I planted several Austromyrtus dulcis on the nature strip. Tube stock from Kumbartcho Nursery. They are lower growing and cope well with the harsh conditions.
