Phil@Tyalgum starts with ... I wonder if anyone could tell me what species this might be. Around 30' tall, far Northern New South Wales, unusual velvety fruit with a largish nut inside. Looks a little like a dogwood fruit but different type of leaf. Growing by the side of the road, not sure if cultivated or indigenous. Thanks.

micarle says... No i think your on the right track, i think its in the proteace family. Those nuts look quite large. My two chilian hazels are only small but are going well, i have not tasted a nut but my old boss said they are like a very sweet hazel with the consistency of a brazil nut! sounds ok to me | About the Author micarle 2nd December 2010 7:38pm #UserID: 3141 Posts: 250 View All micarle's Edible Fruit Trees |

speedy says... My guess would be that it's a native member a member of Sapindaceae or Meliaceae Family. Phil, check out 'the red book' Williams, Harden and McDonald- 'Trees and shrubs in Rainforests of Northern New South Wales and Southern Queensland' (1984). Notice the domatia on the underside of the leaflets where the veins meet the midribs a vital clue to ID when you key it out. also the arrangement and number (odd or even) of leaflets per leaf is another vital clue. good luck. | About the Author Nth Vic 7th December 2010 8:22am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |

speedy says... Hey Phil, how about Brown Tamarind (Castanospora alphandii)? Hugh and Nan's site should be a good help for you identifying natives where you are. http://www.rainforestpublishing.com.au/index.php?href=botanical&dir=botanical_pages&subpage=view&ext=php&array_place=3&item_id=209#image_209 speedy | About the Author Nth Vic 7th December 2010 8:40am #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
