Strawberry gum is a medium-sized tree to 20 m, restricted to the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales. Flowers are cream coloured and are followed by small woody capsules. The glossy green leaves are intensely aromatic.

Strawberry gum is used to enhance the flavour of cooked fruit dishes, desserts or jams, enhancing the berry flavour.

A mild strawberry/eucalyptus flavour with a delightful strawberry aroma, use to flavour sweet breads or scones. Fantastic to cure crocodile meat!

Perfect for fruit salads and desserts such as crème brulée, Pavlova, macarons, panna-cotta and ice cream. A match made in heaven with chocolate or vanilla.

Strawberry Gum can also be used in to produce a delectable tea and has a host of health benefits including antioxidant properties, antibacterial and antifungal powers, as well as balancing the microflora of the digestive system.

Indigenous Australians would often chew on the leaves of the Strawberry Gum for their sweet berry flavour. They would also moisten the leaves and lay them over a fire to release their fragrant oils to calm the stomach.
