Beilschmiedia recurva, known as khaki bark walnut or ivory walnut, is a large rainforest tree from northeast Queensland, Australia, growing up to 35 m tall. It is not a houseplant and is grown only in wet tropical or subtropical landscapes.
Beilschmiedia recurva, commonly known as khaki bark walnut or ivory walnut, is a species of plant in the family Lauraceae native to northeast Queensland, Australia. It was first described in 1989 and has a conservation status of least-concern. The fruit are eaten by various birds and mammals.
Beilschmiedia recurva is widespread in northeast Queensland, from the ranges west of Cape Tribulation south to the Paluma Range National Park. It grows in rainforest on a variety of soil types, from 150 m (490 ft) above sea level to about 1,200 m (3,900 ft).
The tree produces a timber that is marketed under the name "ivory walnut", but it is of poor quality and rarely used. It has an average density of 665 kg/m3 (1,121 lb/cu yd) and an above-ground life expectancy of only seven years.
