🌿 Wombat Berry (Eustrephus latifolius)

Wombat Berry (Eustrephus latifolius) is a hardy, twining native climber with bright orange berries and small starry flowers. Its tangled vines provide dense habitat for reptiles, while the fruit is highly valued by birds, making it an excellent addition to wildlife-friendly gardens.
