Myoporum insulare Prostrate Boobialla

Myoporum insulare Prostrate, or Boobialla (also known as Native Juniper or Coastal Boobialla), is a native, fruit-bearing groundcover. This species produces small white flowers as the weather heats up – in warmer areas of Australia, its not unusual to experience a long flowering season – with fruit following shortly after. As summer ends, Boobialla produces small, round, purple fruits with an astringent sweetness. Theyre great for jams, jellies and preserves. Even when creeping, it develops a dense, bushy appearance, making it ideal for rockeries, filling gaps between plants, or suppressing weeds. Boobialla is a hardy plant that adapts to a wide range of climates. In colder areas it may lose some of its lustre and drop leaves when exposed to frost, but it usually recovers quickly in spring after a light prune.

Soil: It does best in an easily draining, sandy soil
Conditions: Full sun. Drought, salt, coastal and light frost tolerant.
