Eugenia crebrinervis C. White Syzygium crebrinerve is a fairly common Australian tree, growing from near Taree, New South Wales (31 ° S) to Calliope in Queensland (24 ° S).

Common names include purple cherry, rose satinash, and black water gum.

The habitat of Syzygium crebrinerve is sub tropical rainforest on basaltic or fertile alluvial soils.

The fruit matures from January to April, being a flattened berry,[1] a common shape of many Syzygium.

The flesh is unpalatable to humans, being dry and tasteless, but is eaten by many rainforest birds, including the topknot pigeon.
