Care to try a Lilly-pilly?

These are the fruit of the Lilly-pilly tree, a native of eastern Australia. The actual size of these fruit is about 7-10mm and there are many such bunches on the tree (see note). A few months ago I showed the flowers. Although the fruit are edible I wouldn't suggest picking and trying one, they are mouth-puckeringly astringent. Cooked up with some sugar though, they make a very pleasant sauce.

Explored.
