TUCKER BUSH CINNAMON MYRTLE BACKHOUSIA MYRTIFOLIA 180MM

Also known as Carrol or Ironwood, Cinnamon Myrtle is a native hardwood that was used medicinally by Aboriginal people and popularised as a bush food in the late 1980s. Its leaves give off a cinnamon fragrance when rubbed or crushed and may be used to flavour curries, stews, pies, biscuits and pastries. Cinnamon Myrtle is popular as an essential oil and native spice. Allowed to grow bushy, this small tree makes a wonderful addition to a leafy backyard, and can even be used as a hedge.
