Pine-leaf Geebung
- Joe Lipson
Persoonia pinifolia
“A spreading shrub 2-4m high, with crowded pine like leaves” NPOS p.103
The Pine-leaf Geebung is pretty easy to identify when in flower or fruit. The fruit is edible once it turns purple, but whenever I’ve tried some they’ve been strongly astringent, not a good meal!
Don’t miss Banjo Paterson’s “The Geebung Polo Club”
