Looks like a Syzygium. Looks like mature Clove fruit, Syzygium aromaticum ??

Thanks for the ID and it confirms my thoughts that it was a Syzygium species and it's definitely Syzygium branderhorstii. But wonder why don't Daleys have it?

I saw on the net that there are a few places in Brisbane selling this tree but they don't post plants.

Any ideas where I could find a place that would send one down to Melbourne. Thanks.

best bets are Go Green, Yuruga or Plum Tree Pocket. I think Yuruga requires a minimum order but will post (availability dependant) and not sure about the others. If you cant work it out, I might be able to pick one up from Go Green in Spring when they restock their smaller plants and send one down.

Copy that! I thought that Yuruga is still under administration and they no longer have a retail price list online the last time I looked. Is there any update as to if they will start selling to the public again by mail order?

Anyway, I have found someone in Brisbane that does mail order and is propagating a lot of Syzygium branderhorstii right now so I hope to get some from them.
