Lilly Pilly Berries are the fruit from a medium-size tree native to Australia (botanical name - Syzgium Australe). My tree has small-medium, pear-shaped red/crimson berries but they can also be round in shape. The trees are very common in Aussie gardens and are commonly used as hedges. Lilly Pilly berries are a superfood used by native aborigines for their anti-bacterial and healing properties. These superfood berries have incredibly high levels of vitamins (especially rich in Vit C), antioxidants, minerals, fruit acids, phytosterols and essential fatty acids They have great anti-aging and astringent properties to help with skin care.
