Mike Tr says... It was Evodiella muelleri before and they are striking trees when in flower and the pods have the strongest citrus aroma.In the wild they seem to be most common at mid altitudes but range up over 1000m.They should be ok in Sydney especially from seeds sourced from higher areas. They grow on the Atherton Tablelands in places that get regular frost. | About the Author Mike Tr Cairns 18th January 2014 7:59pm #UserID: 8322 Posts: 614 View All Mike Tr's Edible Fruit Trees |

BJ says... Such a gorgeous tree and the fruit looks very inviting. I took a drive up the sunshine coast and the big evodias line the highway and are in full flower now - very striking. There is an amazing little melicope planted as a street tree in a spot I drive by regularly and it is among the most beautiful of all trees I've ever seen. | About the Author Theposterformerlyknownas Brisbane 20th January 2014 10:30am #UserID: 3270 Posts: 1552 View All Theposterformerlyknownas's Edible Fruit Trees |
davewastech says... Yes, I wonder why they're not more common in Sydney. I can't find one in the Sydney Botanic Gardens. (Maybe the RBG Syd's search engine just finds trees, as distinct from shrubs - it's at http://plantnet.rbgsyd.nsw.gov.au/TreesRBGDomain/ ) | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST, NSW 21st January 2014 11:33am #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |

MaryT says... I plant trees and shrubs whenever I want in Sydney, davewastech. I lived near Chatswood for more than twenty years and never saw a frost. Dig a hole at least twice as big as the shrub, back fill it to the level so that the top of the pot is level with the ground then pack the soil back in around it. Water it in very very well and It will thank you. | About the Author MaryT Sydney 11th February 2014 6:20am #UserID: 5412 Posts: 2066 View All MaryT's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech says... Progress so far. I bought several small tubestock Little Evodia from Daleys and planted Sept 2014, all in part sun (in Sydney). By now (Feb 2017) they are between 1m and 1.5m tall. One flowered a little bit this January, and I was very happy to see that! (that's the first to flower). They all got a little bit burnt on a recent hot day when it must have been about 40C, but nothing serious despite the unusually hot summer. They don't seem to mind the winters (frost-free here). Looks promising for little evodia at least as far south as Sydney. - Dave | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 5th February 2017 5:21pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |

davewastech says... Hi Guy, I don't know if the seeds are edible, but they taste pretty bad. btw I planted 3 in 2014 in frost free Sydney and they have flowered every summer from 2017 to 2019 around Christmas, but only the tree in the wettest, shadiest spot is retaining its crop of nuts (so far). But that tree is the biggest of the 3. | About the Author davewastech WILLOUGHBY EAST,2068,NSW 3rd February 2019 12:02pm #UserID: 7097 Posts: 115 View All davewastech's Edible Fruit Trees |

Potty Bob 1 says... Guy42 , I'm trying to find the same thing . Intensive research has come up with nothing on edability , have yet to see this fruit , my tree is small . Maybe the fruit is good for citrus oil maybe candied , maybe leaves for tea , other evodias are used for medicinal leaf tea ? But have nothing in aboriginal use or foraging , Only discussions on possibility same as here with nobody describing tasting it . | About the Author Potty Bob 1 POTTSVILLE,2489,NSW 7th February 2019 11:23am #UserID: 19705 Posts: 59 View All Potty Bob 1's Edible Fruit Trees |
