These plants are found in the semi arid deserts in South Australia. Also called wild peaches, they are native to Australia.

When we were in South Australia we were very happy to find some bushes that were also bearing fruit. I had always wanted to try quandongs. Unfortunately, I still haven’t tried a fresh one as I left the ones I saw on the tree for others to enjoy seeing. I did have a quandong pie and quandong jam on scones. I didn’t find any roasted quandong nuts to try. It turns out the quandong is an very versatile fruit with edible fruits and nuts(seeds). We also found some quandong jam and quandong chutney to bring home with us.
