Riberry - Tubestock

Riberry (Syzygium luehmannii)
A versatile native shrub with vibrant fruit and aromatic flavour

Riberry is a small to medium-sized Australian native shrub or tree, typically growing between 3–6 metres tall. It features glossy green, oval-shaped leaves and produces delicate white flowers in spring, followed by a vibrant red fruit in late summer to early autumn.

The edible berries have a sweet-tart flavour with subtle notes of clove and cinnamon, making them a favourite in sauces, jams, chutneys, desserts, and even cocktails. Beyond its culinary appeal, Riberry is valued for its ornamental beauty and medicinal properties.

Growing Tips:

• Prefers well-drained soil

• Grows best in full sun or part shade

• Drought-tolerant once established

• Can be pruned to maintain desired shape and size

• Suitable for pots, hedges, or feature planting

Harvesting Tip:
Pick only the ripe fruit, which will be soft to the touch and easily removed from the stem.

A true bush food gem, Riberry is an attractive, low-maintenance plant with rich cultural and culinary uses.
