Water Bush

Water Bush (Myoporum montanum) is a small shrub native to the coastal and inland regions of eastern and southern Australia, including New South Wales, Northern Territory, Queensland, South Australia, Victoria, and Western Australia. This plant thrives in full sun with varying soil types—light sandy, medium, or heavy clay—and can tolerate both dry and moist conditions. Known for its edible fruit, Water Bush is a valuable resource in the wild, providing sustenance to local fauna and sometimes humans. One distinctive feature of this shrub is its ability to grow up to 2 meters tall, making it a notable presence in the landscape despite its small stature.
