Not on the ACT weed alert list and can't see any record of it being a major weed elsewhere

How is this distinguished from https://canberra.naturemapr.org/species/2439 Carpobrotus aequilateris which is known in ACT and NSW?

Hey Mike - I'm an amateur so maybe it is something other than I identified, but it's definitely the same plant as you see in many gardens in Canberra. Cheers

I think Carpobrotus aequilateris is sold mistakenly for a native (coastal) ice plant. If you are using Picture This for ID it might not pick up what is likely in the local area - maybe second or third choice.

Thanks Mike you are right when I looked into it the three angled leaf and succulent fruit are the main differences
