Boobialla is a super tough bush tucker shrub that can cope with wind, salt-spray and poor soil. Boobialla was an important bush fruit, but the berries are super tiny, and you will unlikely get more than a snack out of them. The whole plant was also used medicinally.
Even though boobialla is a seaside plant, it does cope with our poorly drained clay soil. It is an ideal plant for coastal gardens and low-maintenance native landscapes.
The plant is a ground-cover and roughly a meter high and 2 meters across.
The ripe berries of Myoporum insulare are the main edible bush tucker component. They are soft, mildly sweet, and can be eaten fresh when fully mature.
The leaves historically used in external traditional applications (not commonly eaten)
One of the strongest features of Myoporum insulare is its exceptional environmental tolerance, making it ideal for difficult growing conditions.
It is commonly used in coastal stabilisation plantings, windbreaks, and low-maintenance native gardens where other species may struggle.
Boobialla is a fast-growing, dense evergreen shrub or small tree that typically reaches 2–6 metres, depending on conditions and pruning. It responds well to trimming and can be maintained as a hedge or screening plant.
Regular pruning encourages denser growth and makes it ideal for windbreaks, privacy screens, or structured native hedging.
Myoporum insulare is an ideal choice for gardeners seeking a tough, multi-purpose native shrub that provides bush tucker fruit, excellent environmental tolerance, and strong structural value in the landscape. Its ability to thrive in salt, wind, drought, and moderate frost conditions makes it one of the most reliable native species for difficult sites.
