Acmena ingens
Also called Red Apple, Southern Satinash
Syzygium ingens, commonly known as red apple, is a species of flowering plant that is endemic to eastern Australia. It is a medium-sized to tall rainforest tree with narrow elliptic to oblong leaves and panicles of white flowers on the ends of branchlets, followed by spherical red berries.
Germination is assisted by removing the seed from the flesh, and soaking for a day or two to kill any insect larvae. Germination is swift and reliable. Cuttings also strike well.
Red apple grows on volcanic soil from near Gympie in south eastern Queensland to Casino in northern New South Wales.
