Kunzea pomifera

Description

Handsome low growing shrub from western Victoria and S-E South Australia growing in sandy soils on the coast and inland. Grows beautifully in Ojai and is very drought tolerant. Responds well to pruning and grows well in containers. Fruits are used in cooking but I haven't actually eaten any myself.
