Peanut Tree

Hello, I've been interested in how our First Nation Peoples survived prior to European invasion and what amazes me is the variety of food that was available, the Peanut Tree is one such food. I'm growing my Peanut tree in full sun with a northerly aspect, it seems happy enough. If you have the space then please consider planting some bush food. A shout out to the crew at Daleys for once again doing their bit in promoting Australian bush food.
