Brown Malletwood

Rhodamnia rubescens
FAMILY: MYRTACEAE




This small tree is flowering all around the district at present.





It’s a particularly pretty plant, flowering profusely from a very early age. (This plant is only three years old.)
In a month’s time it will be covered in small, red bird-attracting fruits.
See Jan 2011 for photos of the plant and berries.
