'''''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. <ref> Floyd, A.G., ''Rainforest Trees of Mainland South-eastern Australia'', Inkata Press 1989, ISBN 0-909605-57-2</ref> 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 [[jam]]s and jellies. Commonly confused with [[Syzygium paniculatum|Magenta Cherry]] and the [[Syzygium oleosum|Blue Lilly Pilly]]. However, the Brush Cherry has a paler trunk. {{Inc| Eugenia myrtifolia, Sims (E. australis, Wendl. Jambosa myrtifolia, Ndz.). Australian Brush Cherry.
