Acrotriche leucocarpa
Tall Acrotriche is a bushy, erect native shrub of south-eastern Australian open woodland, grown mainly for its pearly white berries. It is a species of the Heath family, and the key to growing it is giving it cool, lightly shaded, well-drained conditions similar to its natural understorey habitat.
Acrotriche leucocarpa is a species of flowering plant in the family Ericaceae and is endemic to south-eastern continental Australia. It is an erect, bushy shrub with sharply-pointed lance-shaped leaves and spikes of 3 to 5 green, tube-shaped flowers and spherical to oval, translucent white drupes.
This species of Acrotriche grows in open woodland as an understorey shrub and occurs between the Tinderry Mountains in southern New South Wales, to near Mount Elizabeth in East Gippsland in Victoria.
