Didymocheton muelleri
Also called Red Bean, Onionwood, Turnipwood
Didymocheton muelleri is a large rainforest tree from eastern Australia, growing up to about 35 m tall, usually with a buttressed trunk. It is not a houseplant or common garden tree, so care guidance applies mainly to cultivation in warm, frost-free climates.
Didymocheton muelleri, the red bean or Miva mahogany, is a rainforest tree in the family Meliaceae. It occurs in tropical, sub-tropical and littoral rainforests in eastern Australia, from the Bellinger River in New South Wales in the south, to the wet tropics of north-eastern Queensland. A signposted red bean tree may be seen near the car park of Victoria Park Nature Reserve in north-eastern New South Wales.
