Did you know?  The Boronia megastigma, commonly known as Brown Boronia, is notable for its highly fragrant flowers, which are quite unusual in several respects. One of the most distinctive features is that despite its common name ‘Brown Boronia,’ its flowers are not primarily brown. They are often characterised by a combination of brown on the outside and yellow inside, making them visually striking. Another interesting aspect is the plant's ecological role and adaptation. Boronia megastigma is native to a limited region in Western Australia, where it thrives in specific conditions, often in sandy or well-drained soils. Its strong fragrance plays a crucial role in attracting pollinators, an essential adaptation given the competitive and diverse flora of its native habitat.

Supplier information: Our supplier has been implementing a series of regenerative practices designed to restore the health and vitality of the plantations, which have not been maintained for up to 15 years. These include selective harvesting to ensure that younger, healthier trees have the space and sunlight needed to thrive. In addition, there is a significant investment in undergrowth management to control weeds and prevent them from outcompeting native plants, thus preserving the biodiversity that is essential for a healthy ecosystem. By adopting these regenerative practices, the supplier aims not only to improve the yield and quality of the harvest but also to contribute to the broader ecological restoration of the area. This holistic approach guarantees the sustainability of the plantations for future generations, aligning with global efforts towards environmental conservation and responsible land management.
