Beilschmiedia obtusifolia
Also called Blush Walnut, Queensland Sassafras, Black Walnut, Nutwood, Ivory Walnut
A medium to large rainforest tree of eastern Australia, grown mainly for timber and landscape shade rather than as a garden or houseplant. Seeds germinate slowly; remove the fleshy aril first to help germination.
Beilschmiedia obtusifolia is a rainforest tree in the laurel family Lauraceae, found in rainforests of eastern Australia. In Australia it ranges from Port Macquarie in New South Wales northwards to Cape York Peninsula in Queensland, within tropical and subtropical rainforests, usually on the more fertile basaltic sites, but sometimes close to the sea. Its common names include blush walnut, hard bolly gum, and nut wood.
