Midyim berry

Austromyrtus dulcis

Check your plant’s identity

Does the label say Austromyrtus dulcis, midyim or midgen berry? Hybrids such as 'Copper Tops' (Austromyrtus dulcis x tenuifolia), fine-leaf midgen berry (Austromyrtus tenuifolia) and 'Blushing Beauty' (Gossia inophloia, once sold as Austromyrtus) are different plants. If there is no clear label, choose I'm not sure; the picture does not confirm your plant.

Important precautions

The berries are a traditional Australian bush food. Eat them only when the label confirms Austromyrtus dulcis, and do not eat any part of an unidentified plant. No veterinary or poison-centre record for this species was found, so its safety for pets is unknown; keep pets from eating the plant and ask a vet if they do.

Care guidance is partial and depends on your growing conditions. Check the available guidance in the app; this profile does not promise complete care. A representative illustration does not confirm your plant’s identity.
