Information

Quandong - Native Peach - Santalum acuminatum.

This lonely quandong tree is a rare yet widespread plant. Its fleshy edible fruits are well utilised by parrots in the area, as they are very high in vitamin C (twice that of an orange). The berries have a similar taste to rhubarb and are commonly made into jams or stewed in pies.
