Notes
A hardy small tree found in most of the remnant patches of forest on Ash Island. It has small bright green leaves which have a rough sandpaper feel. It forms a dense crown with pendulous lower branches. The bark of a mature tree is smooth and grey with vertical lines of pustules. It has long catkin-like male flowers and smaller female flowers on the same tree. The bright yellow round berry is deliciously sweet to taste and has only one hard seed. The fruit are very popular with birds.
