Smooth Davidson’s Plum is a medium-sized rainforest tree native to eastern Australia, prized for its soft, fleshy fruits rich in antioxidants and vitamins. Despite its rarity in the wild due to infertile seeds, it flourishes in cultivation.

Fruiting extends from February to May, with some trees bearing fruit even until August in warmer regions. This tropical/subtropical beauty boasts glossy, red-to-green leaves and a slender silhouette - making it an excellent choice for a central feature or shade tree in gardens.
