Delicious Dwarf Native Fruit Tree
Dwarf Davidson’s Plum
Davidsonia jerseyana (2-3mAbcD) A spectacular dwarf native fruit tree treasured for its dramatic appearance and unique, tangy fruit. This striking small tree produces clusters of deep crimson-pink flowers along its stems in spring, followed by large, dark purple-black fruit that hang directly from the trunk and branches. The fruit is tart and rich in antioxidants, making it superb for jams, sauces, and juices. Davidsonia jerseyana grows to 2-3 metres tall in a garden and thrives in warm, moist climates. A bit taller in its home in the rainforests of Northern NSW where it is a rare small understory tree. It prefers a sheltered position with good drainage and is frost-sensitive in its early stages. Known to take some cold eg Ballarat ! One fascinating fact: its fruit contains ellagic acid, a rare natural compound believed to have anti-aging properties.
