Add a Native Twist to Your Edible Garden , Meet the Peanut Tree!
This stunning Australian native produces bright red pods that split open to reveal shiny black seeds that are edible and tasting just like peanuts when roasted! A real conversation starter, and perfect for bushfood gardens or native-themed plantings.
The Peanut Tree is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and a great way to add both colour and flavour to your backyard.
