Myoporum parvifolium - Creeping Boobialla Tubestock | Native Tree Seedling

Description:
A fast-spreading Australian native groundcover with dense, trailing stems and small glossy green leaves. It produces delicate white to pale pink star-shaped flowers followed by purple berry-like fruits that attract birds. Extremely hardy and low maintenance, it forms a thick living mat that suppresses weeds and stabilises soil, making it ideal for large-scale groundcover and erosion control. They also have an edible fruit in spring!
