Raspberry Jam

The Raspberry Jam, Acacia acuminata, is a hardy, fast growing large shrub but usually a small tree. Common around Perth and part of our natural landscape.

Thriving in well-drained soils, it adapts remarkably well to diverse conditions, adding a tranquil ambiance to any setting. Its durable timber is not only historical for crafting and fence posts but also gives off a sweet, jam-like scent when cut.

It plays a crucial role in supporting local biodiversity, especially a specific mistletoe that attracts mistletoe birds, bees, and butterflies, turning gardens into lively ecosystems.

Choosing the Raspberry Jam enriches your environment, offering both beauty and a sanctuary for wildlife, while preserving a piece of cultural history.
