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. From November to February, it adorns itself with delicate pink blossoms, later yielding clusters of delectable purple berries, perfect for both culinary delights and winemaking. 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, reaching heights of 4-8 meters, making it an excellent choice for a central feature or shade tree in gardens.
