Syzygium australe, commonly called Brush Cherry or Scrub Cherry, is a rainforest tree native to eastern Australia. It can attain a height of up to 35 m with a diameter of 60 cm. The leaves are opposite, simple, lanceolate from 4-8 cm long. Flowers are white and in clusters. The dark pink to red fruits are edible. [1]

Brush Cherry is commonly cultivated in gardens in eastern Australia, mostly as shorter, shrub-like cultivars. These are especially popular as hedges. The pleasantly sour fruit are also eaten fresh or cooked. The fruit can be used to make jams and jellies.
