Can anyone identify this tree

[Bloss]

Looks a bit like a rambutan - most of which are red, bit they can come in all sorts of colours from yellow to orange to green the usual red. What inside those pods?

Not a Rambutan, we have them too, the red spiky fruit is heart shaped.

I don't have a name for it, google images comes up with a couple of exotics try this, Lipstick tree (Bixa orellana).

Used to be plenty of them in gardens around Cairns.

Very old thread, plus George passed away recently, so I don't think he is after the name anymore :rolleyes:

Very sad that we have lost another Woodie.
