That is an absolutely gigantic davidsons plum. Not toxic and the fruit are edible but sour as hell. Make extraordinarily good jam. There are two forms of it I believe but I couldn't Tell you the difference. Mike t will probably know when he logs on.

Beautiful Davidson's Plum. In clearings like that they often get a bit bushy, but that one is very nice. They also make a potent liquor. I'd call it the ultimate palate cleanser as its so sharp it could clean durian from your palette in no time flat!

Man, I love this forum! I was going to make jam but the liquor sounds more fun. If you have a recipe/method that would be even better. Thanks for all,your help.

There are a few Nth Qld Davidsonias in Bellingen, often to do with the Doctor who planted them years ago.
Yes, fantastic jam, equal to Prunus blood plum, and supposed to make a good dry red wine.
