Cyrus Roussilhes is a Perth-based horticulturalist, rare fruit specialist, and founder of Primal Fruits Perth, a boutique nursery dedicated to transforming suburban backyards into productive, low-maintenance food forests.
With over 15 years of hands-on experience, Cyrus has cultivated more than 700 varieties of fruit and edible plants on a compact 700sqm property—demonstrating what’s possible even in Perth’s challenging climate. His work focuses on rare and exotic species, particularly subtropical and South American varieties such as Eugenias, Garcinias, and Jaboticabas, which he has helped popularise among local growers.
A strong advocate for sustainability, Cyrus applies syntropic and regenerative gardening principles—designing layered, self-sustaining ecosystems that improve soil health, conserve water, and maximise productivity.
