This bush is now covered in lilly pillys, I hope they will be edible

[Issi Bannerman]

What a lovely capture, but what on earth is a lilly pilly?

[Diana]

How lovely, never heard of these before and hope to see some more ;-)

[Kathy A]

@jamibann they are native Australian trees and shrubs that have edible berries that can be white or pink

[Pam Knowler]

That’s a new one for me too! Hope you enjoy them!

[Babs]

Never tasted lilly pilly, have you?

[Kathy A]

@onewing no I haven’t. I’ve had the bush for about 6 years and this is the first year I’ve seen berries on it.

[Mags]

Lovely shot! Let us know what they taste like. =)

[John Falconer]

If not edible then Lilli Pilli jam it is. Nice shot.

[Fisher Family]

A lovely close-up!

[Judith Greenwood]

Never seen those before- interesting!

[Helen Jane]

interesting - I wonder what you do with them?

[Carole Sandford]

Not heard of these.

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They do look tasty! Nice shot!

[Kathy]

I've not heard of these so ... Google to the rescue. In the images they show of this fruit, the fruit is much redder.

[Taffy]

I like how you've used all greens, but highlight the different shape of the focal berries.

[Netkonnexion]

Not seen these before. Great verdant greens. Odd little fruits. Nice image. Thank you.

[Kathy A]

@randystreat My friend assures me that mine will turn red however I'm not seeing it....yet

[Jennie B.]

You learn something new everyday and Lilly Pilly is it for me today!
Let us know how they taste.

[Kathy]

@kjarn Let us know when that happens and how you like them.

[KazzaMazoo]

Apparently you need LOTS of sugar if you’re making Lilly Pilly jam. Mine never turn red either. The dog likes snacking on them though when they fall off the tree.

[Kathy A]

@mazoo I won't be making jam, I don't make anything 😂. So they are edible if not red? How do you know when they are ready to eat?

[KazzaMazoo]

@kjarn They are ready to eat when they have changed from totally tart and inedible to ooh that’s really tart, we’re gonna need loads of sugar 😂 We have three different types of Lilly Pilly in the yard and only two seem to produce the berries. The tree ones stay white-ish and the shrub ones are a reddy brown.

@mazoo 😂 😂 thank you
