Thread: Tree ID Please

Just guessing.....Acacia Fimbriata?
The mention of the growing rate sounds like it. As I said, just guessing.

Looks like a Pittosporum undulatum. Do the seed pods open like little mouths, bearing many red seeds in a sticky substance?

Donna

definately pittosporum and its excactly the same as ones growing here in south east vic , wonder if there the same type?

Yep Pittosporum undulatum. Tends to get borer in it a bit. I would classify it as a pioner species really - not too long lived and 8 -10 m probably max height.

Thanks for the ID guys, appreciate knowing what the tree is.

Seems it's an excellent carving/turning wood, so it's fate is decided
No evidence of borer yet.

flynnsart - Yes seed pods contain red sticky seeds

Bleedin Thumb, can I ask what reference books you use?

Outback ...didn't need to for that one... they're as common as muck..as the old lady would say. I do have a very good library of Hort/Botanical books.

For rainforest's I recommend Ornamental Rainforest plants in Australia by David L. Jones. He also has a good palm book and Australian Ferns and their Allies by Jones & C S Clemesha.

It would take too much typing to list them all, if there is a particular ecosystem or plant type that you want to get to know PM me and I'll see if I can recommend a book.

Thanks BT
