'''''Syzygium francisii''''' is a common [[Australian]] tree, growing from near [[Morisset, New South Wales]] (33° S) to [[Gladstone, Queensland]] (23° S). Common names include '''Giant Water Gum''', '''Rose Satinash''', and '''Francis Water Gum'''. The habitat of '''''Syzygium francisii''''' is [[rainforest]] on [[basaltic]] or fertile [[alluvial]] soils. Several fine examples may be seen at the [[Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney]]. An often seen '''''Syzygium francisii''''' is at the start of the [[Mount Warning]] walking track in far north eastern [[New South Wales]]. '''''Syzygium francisii''''' is a medium to large size tree, occasionally reaching 45 metres in height and a 150 cm in trunk diameter. The tree's crown appears dark and dense. The bark is a scaly reddish light brown, with depressions caused by the shedding of scales of bark. Prominent buttresses form at the base. The leaves are opposite, simple, entire, 4 to 8 cm long drawn out into a long point at the tip. The leaf margin is often wavy, new growth pinkish. Flowers: white in [[panicles]]. Flowers small, less than 6 mm long. Flowering period September to December. The fruit matures from January to April, being a flattened berry, a common shape of many [[Syzygium]], the colour is a pale blue, lilac to purple. The flesh is dry and unpalatable to taste. Seed germination is relatively easy and quick, commencing at 20 days. Soaking of the seeds is recommended to drown insect larvae. Fruit are eaten by many types of rainforest birds. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> File:Syzygium francisii leaves.jpg| photo 1 File:Syzygium francisii - Booyong Reserve - edited.jpg| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
