They would be edible - but best left for the birds, or just for their ornamental value. (The Rimfire people might justifiably object to having their native fruits pinched!)<BR/>TrishPatricia Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04892273329190235852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2171765088403710716.post-33329276290648018422008-02-28T19:14:00.000-08:002008-02-28T19:14:00.000-08:00These Amyema linophylla are very good at hiding th...These Amyema linophylla are very good at hiding themselves on thier host. A few years ago I was particularly confused by one I found growing on belah near Moonie. I thought the tree had small pink fruit. I was actually looking at mistletoe that was doing a great job of pretending to be a belah branch.<BR/><BR/>It was about a year later that I realised what was going on, although I have not been back to check the particular specimen.<BR/><BR/>I have also found them in the Gardens at Rimfire Winery near Maclagan. They have an outdoor area where you can sit and enjoy your wine and cheese. There is a paved area that is well shaded by belah, wilga and bottletrees. It could only be improved with a few big old silver brigalows. The wine was worth a crack as well.Mickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00563322110061904267noreply@blogger.com
