Microcachrys tetragona Strawberry Pine

Comments: -

Microcachrys tetragona, the creeping strawberry pine is a low shrub up to 1 metre, native to alpine regions in Tasmania. It is dioecious with the female plants producing edible red berries that look a bit like small strawberries. It seems easy to grow in Melbourne although it may not like the hot summers so it would be best kept in a cool shady position.

Dwarf Mulberry - Black ^10/10

Comments: -

10/10 for rapid growth and surviving my nice and nephews... Planted this in September 2020 as a tiny Bunnings plant and by the start of Winter 2021, its about 7 foot tall! looking forward to it fruiting.

10.08.2022: This tree fruited 3 times in its first season. The 1st fruit was dissapointing as so tiny and I was contemplating taking it out. Im glad I waited as it fruited 2 more times and the berries were large and luscious. Now sitting pretty at around 12 feet. Beautiful uniform shape and its autumn leaves provide great garden mulch - VERY worthwhile tree for small gardens.
