Rhett starts with ... Hi, I'm hoping that someone is able to help identify this native fruit tree. I live on the edge of the Lamington National Park (near the Qld/NSW border) and this is the first time we've noticed this tree fruit in 20 years. I'm guessing its Australian bush tucker? I can post further pics upon request :) Cheers Rhett

HappyEarth says... Most likely a black apple which are fruiting at the moment down here in Wollongong: http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/plant/Planchonella-Australis-Black-Apple.htm Quite variable in taste but a good tree yields delicious fruit - i blend them up in a smoothy for breakfast. Hope this helps, Rich www.happyearth.com.au | About the Author Wollongong 28th October 2008 1:36pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

Rhett says... Thanks to both of you. Phil I thought it was a Davidson's Plum too until I saw that those tree fruit in clusters. I've looked at the Black Apple tree and it certainly looks like the tree here. Thanks Rich. My tree here is only about 5 metres tall, so if it is a black apple...she still has a bit of growing to do :) Regards Rhett :) | About the Author Retta ILLINBAH 29th October 2008 1:48pm #UserID: 1575 Posts: 3 View All Retta's Edible Fruit Trees |
