First picture is blurry; not sure how you expect anyone to identify that mess.
Exactly what I thought when I opened the first pic. OP must've used a potato to take the picture.
So it could be a potato tree…
Sorry. It was live picture using iphone. I uploaded 2 more pictures. Hope it is good enough. Thanks
Fig tree?
Need better pics but almost looks like a macadamia
It's not a macadamia but I see these trees everywhere, I think planted by council.
Unlikely. The seed or fruit is a tiny sized ball. Its black inside when opened.
Lol, turns out phone screens aren’t ideal for plant id. I didn’t even noticed the opened ones at first.
definitely not macadamia, maca leaves are elongated and looks thorny
Yeah, I looked at the pics on pc and jumped into the Pittosporum camp.
Bay laurel
Uploaded 2 more pictures. Thank you.
A close-up of the fruit/nut that the tree bears may assist.
Yes, i uploaded few more pictures. It is a medium sized tree with tiny fruit. Thanks.
Looks like a variety of Pittosporum in which there are plenty of varieties most people use them for screening
Yep. I second pittosporum.
Uploaded few more pictures. Thank you.
Looks like an alligator apple. Invasive species.
Looks like a Pond Apple tree (Annona glabra), which is a class 1 weed. It is regarded as one of the worst weeds in Australia due to its invasiveness, potential for spread, economic and environmental impact. Hence its status as a class 1 weed. Report it to your local council.
Ps: Are in the far north coast of NSW?
The fruit in your link looks like figs which was my guess
Figs have a palmate leaf though.
I've never seen a fig in the wild - only on a tray bought from the farmers market 😊
Still looks like a fresh fig cut in half 😃
No. I am in victoria eastern suburb. I am surprised it is a class 1 weed. I reckon it has been there for 10 years, maybe? Its about 7 to 10 meters tall. The fruit is really small maybe slightly bigger than a pea.
I don’t think OPs one is undulatum, but I am struggling with even the updated photos.
My credibility is shot to hell with the potato tree guess but I reckon the Pittosporum guys are correct.
Is it consider native tree?
It depends which species of Pittosporum it is. P. undulatum is native to Aus (but considered invasive in many areas) whilst others are introduced. I’ve been out of the weed control game for a number of years now and I’m pretty rusty.
Does the following sound like you tree?
https://vicflora.rbg.vic.gov.au/flora/taxon/08a1fda2-0996-4d…The description yes, on the shape of the leaf. Seeds numerous, 4–5 mm long, blackish. Yes too.
But It says a shrub or small tree only? My tree is pretty big on the medium to large category.
@spedohero: How tall is your tree?
There are various cultivars of this species so some may grow taller. This is the same as what kooljp suggested.
Why do you ask? Are you considering removal, just interested or planning on eating the berries?
Do you want it to be a weed/non native species so you don’t have to ask council to cut it down?
Looks like what I have always known as a Chinese elm, they often grow under the fence, as the seeds get pooped there from the birds. They are a weed, but a huge tree.
^ this
The shape of the leaf looks different. The elm has pointy shape along the side of the leaf compare to an wavy oval looking shape leaf, but the look and texture of the trunk looks similar. Thank you.
Pittosporum undulatum
undulataum has brown-red seeds, this one appears to have black seeds.
Looks like a James Stirling Pittosporum. We have 6 trees in our backyard growing wild! Time to cut them down!
How big are the trees? Does the tree has little ball sized fruit with blackish seeds? Can you post a picture of your tree, please? Thank you.
Looks quite similar from far. The shape of it, but i have 3 thicker trunks spreading out. Mind if i ask which area roughly you are living in? I can’t see any neighbour of mine having this type of tree. Thats why i am asking.
Ulmus Chinese it is definitely not (Chinese Elem), but what plant are we really looking at? Fig, out of the question. Blackish bark or grove of Acer? Count the number of fingers of the leaf tree in question and find the veins, please describe accurately, shape and smell of any offcuts, bark pattern is helpful and if root system is under or becoming released from the ground (perhaps by water intake in recent months) - tell us about the growth pattern in recent years and if soil disturbance ( may be by animal or mechanical activity) is known by you over the last 5 years. Tell us more about the health of the leaf - is it a consitent pattern of colour and (I guess not evergreen) the ground cover which is assisting growth in summer and winter. Thanks
It looks like some form of Poplar to me. We had one in our backyard that was huge and when we removed it,smaller ones grew out from the old roots. A few even popped up at our neighbours'.
