Jelly bush
$19.90
This attractive native shrub is known for the distinctive honey that is made from its nectar. It grows naturally all along the east coast and inland, from the south coast of New South Wales to Cape York, thriving in both sandstone derived and basalt derived soils. Profuse white blossom is seen from early Spring through to early Summer, and being a compact size it is a great addition to any garden, either on its own or as a hedge. The honey for which it is known, has similar properties to the more well known Manuka Honey (Leptospermum scoparium), whereby bacterial growth is inhibited by the topical application of honey to a wound.
Gumbi Gumbi
$19.90 ($4.90-$19.90 choose a size)
This drought hardy tree has a weeping appearance with long and slender leaves to 10cm. The fruit changes from green to yellow/orange when ripe splits open with red sticky seeds. Great for an informal native hedge. Traditional medicinal uses: An infusion of the seeds, fruit pulp, leaves or wood was ingested for the relief of pain and cramps. Decoction of the fruits was drunk and applied for eczema. Bush medicine, for colds, cramps, itching. Seeds ground for flour. Gumbi Gumbi is resistant to both drought and frost, and grows in a wide variety of soil types, from heavy clay to mostly sand. But for best results in a home garden, choose a well-drained loamy soil or potting mix, located in full sun, and water well throughout the dry season.
