Diospyros subrhomboidea is a tropical forest tree in the persimmon family (Ebenaceae), growing up to about 20 metres tall in mixed dipterocarp forest. It is a wild forest species rarely grown as a garden or houseplant, so care depends on tropical forest conditions.
Diospyros subrhomboidea is a tree in the family Ebenaceae. It grows up to 20 metres (70 ft) tall. Inflorescences bear a solitary flower. The fruits are round, up to 1.5 cm (1 in) in diameter. The specific epithet subrhomboidea is from the Latin meaning 'somewhat rhombic', referring to the leaf shape. Habitat is mixed dipterocarp forests from sea-level to 700 metres (2,000 ft) altitude. D. subrhomboidea is found in Sumatra, Peninsular Malaysia, Singapore, Java and Borneo.
