I am trying to identify an evergreen tree in my yard in Melbourne. It has clusters of small purple flowers.?

It has clusters of small purple flowers with white edges, on spray like stems on the end of the branches. It appears to flower from late spring through til the beginning of winter. Bees and butterflies love the flowers. Just now some of the flowers are giving way to small yellow/orange berries. The leaves are green with serrated edges and the trunk is light in colour and fairly smooth. No one I know can identify it and I haven't had any luck on websites.

I would suggest you take the flower/berries to your local nursery for identification



Here is a site for Aussie trees

Reply:The Lillipilli has small berries on it, that might be it. I can't think of any others that it might be.
