Are Lilly Pilly Berries Edible? 🌻 ID This Plant

Post image

I believe I have a Lilly Pilly that has plenty of berries on it.

Wondering if someone could confirm the ID?

Yes, but make sure that they're fully ripe before eating them, as unripe ones can give you the runs.

Editing to add that the ones with matte skin like yours are better when cooked/turned into jam. The ones with shiny skin are better for eating raw.
