Syzygium luehmannii

Syzygium luehmannii is a medium-sized coastal rainforest tree native to Australia.

The small, glossy, lance-shaped leaves are a shiny green when mature, but pink/red when young.

The fruit is eaten by the Australasian figbird, emu, and flying fox (pteropus).

It has been popular as a gourmet bushfood since the early 1980s and is commercially cultivated on a small-scale basis.

The fruit is most commonly used to make a distinctively flavoured jam and is also used in sauces, syrups and confectionery.
