  Austromyrtus tenuifolia - Midgenberry

A delightful small to medium sized shrub, with numerous small white flowers in late spring to summer, which are followed up with small edible purple spotted white berries. It grows from 1 to 2 metres high, making it useful for informal low hedging. An adaptable plant for different conditions, from sun to part shade and most soil types. Naturally occurs near streams and damp spots around Sydney, so is good for temperate to subtropical areas. Tolerant of moderate frost, can survive dry spells but fruits best with good watering around budding and fruiting time. Pruning will help create a more dense growing plant.
