Kunzea pomifera, also known as muntries or emu apples, is a low-growing shrub with hairy stems, small leaves, and white flowers. It produces fleshy, edible fruit that is about 1cm in diameter and has a spicy apple flavor. This plant is native to Victoria and South Australia and can be grown in well-drained soil with a pH of 6.0-8.0. It is also important to avoid overwatering, as it may affect the flavor of the berries. Muntries can be trellised for easier management and harvesting. They have been cultivated since the 1800s and are known for their high antioxidant content and skin nourishing properties.
