Quandong

A Troubled Times member living in Australia recommends Quandong, a bush Tucker tree that is very hardy in fact it is a parasite tree, and one of the only edible parasites in the world. Quandong does not kill its host, however, but takes on the genetic character of the host, i.e. if the host has anti insect properties then so does the Quandong. The fruit is like a peach, the nut is like a Macadamia, and the branches can be clipped and used as sandalwood incense.
