Russian Olive? Blue or silver quandong and they are extremely common in the wet tropics.The film of green flesh over the rough seed is thin.

So are you looking for Eleagnus angustifolia (Russian olive) or Elaeocarpus angustifolius (blue quandong)? They are completely different plants but sounds like you are after the quandong?

First time I've heard of Elaeagnus angustifolia (Russian Olive). Daleys doesn't have a listing for them and I wouldn't know where to find it either. Their description after an internet search doesn't really seem to match your description of what you're looking for.
Elaeocarpus angustifolius (Blue Quandong) better fits your description, but they're blue not green, over a bumpy seed. Daleys have them "in production". Are these what you are looking for?
Regards
Brad

This is a "Zombie" thread. I wanted the moderators to delete this topic as I wanted to start a new one without the confusion of blue and silver quandong introduced by Mike Tr. But it is still up for some reason. Sorry for the confusion. Obviously I live in the dry and frosty inland of southern Queensland, so there would be no point in me growing a quandong from the wet tropics! I don't think a blue quandong could survive minus 8 degrees Celcius and no rainfall for months at a time. LOL!
