Description
Pink Mountain Berry
Leptecophylla juniperina
This plant is not on the Australian Noxious Weed List.
The Pink Mountain Berry is native to Victoria and Tasmania where it grows from the coastal strip up into semi-alpine climes. It can also be found in New Zealand, New Guinea and some Pacific Islands. This plant prefers a moderate winter and cool, moist summers.
A member of the Ericacae family (heaths and heathers) it grows to 1.5 metres high with much the same spread, has juniper-like prickly leaves and such wide distribution is adaptable to most soils. The white flowers are tubular and seen in winter/spring followed by deep pink, fleshy fruits (drupes) about 10mm in diameter. The fruit is edible both raw or cooked and was often used for ‘bush tucker’.
Offered is a packet of approximately 25 seeds with propagation notes.
