An evergreen native of New South Wales which grows to 25 m and spreads to 4 m. It is frost resistant and drought tolerant and prefers a heavy to medium, moist soil in a protected and partly shaded position. Now threatened with extinction due to overclearing.
The old wood bears a red flower followed by a large, rounded, white to cream coloured, tinged with green, fruit. The succulent fruit can be as large as 6.5 cm and is eaten fresh and made into jams and jellies.
