It was an important food plant for the local Aboriginal people. They dried or baked surplus fruit into cakes to eat during the winter months. They also traded the fruit for important tools with neighbouring tribes. The plants produce fluffy white flowers in spring, followed by berries in Feb-March. They should start producing berries three years after planting. Berries may remain green but still be ripe. If left too long, the berries become unpalatable.<br /> Family: Myrtaceae &nbsp; Genus: Kunzea &nbsp; Species: pomifera &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: White<br />Stephen L (Clare) SAFri, 21 Nov 2014 03:21:00 GMTTea Treehttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/791+tea-treehttps://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/791+tea-tree<a href="https://www.exploroz.com/wildflowers/791+tea-tree"><img src="https://cdn.exploroz.com/images/GalleryTag_W791__TN130.jpg" border="0" align="left" hspace="5" /></a> Smelling sweet ,Tea Tree blossoms blowing like confetti in the wind line the roads of Flinders Island. <br /> Family: Myrtaceae &nbsp; Genus: Kunzea &nbsp; Species: ambigua &nbsp; Main Flower Colour: White<br />John L (WA)Wed, 07 Jan 2015 02:48:00 GMT
