Heffa Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Found this just today actually in the far corner of my property. Very large maybe 8 metre tree, not very thick trunk or stems.Bright violet fruits with a brownish white flesh, not much of a scent, i have a horrible virus at the moment so all i can really smell is plant material.My father seems to think it maybe a native plum or something and claims he has seen it before. Would be sweet if we found yet another fruit tree on our land.Any ideas? thanks heaps :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micromegas Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 Davidson plum? Cool plant to own! Do you like the taste? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heffa Posted February 20, 2011 Author Share Posted February 20, 2011 Well i haven't tried it yet, just in case.I thought Davidson Plum had red flesh? and this fruit isn't as dark as Davidson's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcanicplug Posted February 20, 2011 Share Posted February 20, 2011 (edited) Hi Heffa, pretty sure its a White Beech (Gmelina leichhardtii)... this species is in the Lamiaceae (mint) family... Davidson Plum has compound leaves... Edited February 20, 2011 by volcanicplug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
