Berry Saltbush | Rhagodia baccata
The Berry Saltbush is a robust Western Australian, low-spreading coastal shrub with fleshy light green leaves. Small creamy-yellow flowers are produced, followed by bright red berries which are often eaten and dispersed by birds.
The red berries are edible and the leaves can be steamed and eaten as a vegetable.
The Berry Saltbush is an important plant for dune rehabilitation due to its rapid growth, attracting fruit-eating birds to restored dunes. Occurs naturally along the coast from Jurien Bay to Cape Arid in primary and secondary dunes.
It is ideal for coastal gardens where it will tolerate strong salty winds and harsh conditions.
Currently available in tube stock.
