Midyim Berry Copper Top
Austromyrtus dulcis x tenuifolia ‘Copper Tops’
Midgen Berry is one of our local bush foods and is perhaps one of the sweetest of the Australian fruits.This cultivar is a cross breed from two varieties and is widely used in landscape projects due to its hardiness and attractive compact growth. Featuring fine leaves and beautiful bronze new growth, this plant has a low growing and mounding habit and can be pruned into whatever shape is desired. In spring and summer it is covered in lovely sprays of starry white flowers followed by attractive and delicious fruit.
