Cryptocarya onoprienkoana
Also called Rose Maple
Cryptocarya onoprienkoana is a large rainforest tree from eastern Queensland, grown mainly as a shade or specimen tree rather than a houseplant. It needs a warm, frost-free site and is rarely cultivated outside its native range.
Cryptocarya onoprienkoana, commonly known as rose maple, southern maple, rose walnut or pigeonberry ash is a species of flowering plant in the family Lauraceae and is endemic to Queensland. It is a tree with lance-shaped to elliptic leaves, creamy-green, perfumed flowers, and elliptical black to bluish-black drupes.
Rose maple grows in rainforest, sometimes in drier rainforest, at elevations of 50 to 1,000 m (160 to 3,280 ft) between the Windsor Tablelands in the north and Gympie in central Queensland.
