This tree is scattered everywhere across the Pacific. Very popular in Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. The giant long glossy leaves make it a spectacular feature before you even spot the fruit. The stunning fruit is bright red and has a crisp apple like flavour, although some can be a little watery. If you have some space in a frost free garden this tree will be a treasure. Even though tropical it grows and fruits well in the North Coast of NSW. With adequate water it grows at a rapid rate reaching up to 6-7m

Amazing beautiful tree with leaves 50cm long then this year , after 5 years after planting out in the footpath, it flowered, the flowers came straight out of the trunk and major branches. Now , late Jan , the fruit taste like crispy sweet lilly pillys

These trees grow well at tropical fruit world on the north NSW coast. They have a delicious crunchy fruit with a mild lily pillie flavour.
