I was doing some work down the back of my place the other day and noticed this tree growing in a thicket. I am very unfamiliar with the Solanaceae tree species, i have never really been too interested in Brugs and Datura species etc - but this tree really peaked my interest. The masses of bright pink flowers made this plant hard for me to leave unknown, i did some research - but came up empty handed. I believe it was seed dispersed possibly from a large private Victorian garden a few hundred meters away - but that is all the leads i have on its origins.
Flower: Calyx, Corolla & Androceum all adnate, borne on an epigynous zone. Eight stamens (staggered), four petals (valvate) and four sepals (also valvate).
Hey guys,
I was doing some work down the back of my place the other day and noticed this tree growing in a thicket.

Reference is in centimeters.
Any info would be appreciated, cheers!
