Blue Lillypilly
A native tree with delightful purple fruit this is a favourite of the lilly pilly group. The delicate fruit is aromatic with a sweetish slightly gingery or turpentine flavour. Fruit is spongy and delicate. The glossy green leaves have numerous large oil glands that give a distinctive smell when crushed and distinguish it from other lilly pillies. The red flower buds open as pretty fluffy white flowers that are typical of the lilly pilly family.

Don't ever eat the seeds of the lillypilly - just the flesh. It is great to add to fresh garden or fruit salad, providing that it will get eaten that day. Try it...you won't regret it!! | Tina H Carmody - Joondanna, WA 06-Apr-2009
I know you can eat the fruit - but can you eat the seed inside too? | Sarah Jones - Perth, WA 10-Apr-2009
