$29.99
Antidesma erostre
Wild Currant is a compact tropical shrub native to North Queensland. Its berries begin tart and cranberry-like when young, gradually ripening into dark, sweet fruit as they mature. Research shows the fruit contains phytochemicals with natural pesticide properties, proven effective against Epilachna beetles.
In late summer, the plant produces large, grape-like clusters of berries that ripen unevenly, creating a striking ornamental display. The fruit emerges pinkish-white, then deepens through shades of red to rich black as sweetness develops. Berries can be eaten fresh or transformed into jams, jellies, tangy sauces, syrups, desserts, and even wines.
