Often referred to as the wild peach or native peach.
Quandongs have a vitamin c content higher then oranges. 

An attractive small tree growing 2m to 4m, with long grey-green drooping foliage, small white flowers and brightly coloured edible fruit. The bright red fruit, 2-5cm across, is harvested between August and December. 

A fast-growing Australian tree bearing distinct red edible fruits. 

Also known as wild, native or desert peach, or by several indigenous names including Kawantha, Gutchu, Mangata, Goorti and Wadjal.

Requires a host plant to grow with. 

The Quandong has really hard seed-coat, and the simplest way to break their dormancy is to soak them in water for a day and place them in the sun, in a tray of potting mix, keeping them moist. If they are planted without breaking the seed-coat, they can take up to two years to germinate. The quickest shortcut is to remove the actual seed from inside the hard seed coat using a vice and compressing the stone very gently and slowly. When seeds germinate, pot them in the same pot as a host plant. Quandong seeds will take about six weeks to germinate
