Bribie Gold

Tarin Field: Bribie Gold was a seed grown frangi. It was grown near my house where a catholic convent use to be. I use to maintain the frangis for the nuns that lived there. The nuns planted the seed in the 60’s and bribie gold grew out the back of the property. Unfortunately it hit the nursery trade and lost its story. Original tree is long gone. Out of that seed they grew they also had a beautiful white which from a distance the tree looks covered in snow flakes, it’s that white. I named that “Nuns White”. Bridal Bouquet species P. pudica (means ‘shy’), Puerto Rico Rare evergreen variety, bushy hedge growing with unusual hammer head shaped leaves, flowers are white with a small yellow dot at the centre, and flowers are bunched like a bouquet.
