Cassowary Plum: Cerbera floribunda

  • The Cassowary Plum can be a tall tree, with large, long leaves arranged in erect whorls, many coloured red.

  • The fruit is an very large, bright blue and egg-shaped fruit.

  • These fruits are typical food for the cassowary (i.e.; large and colourful), presumably resulting in the common name of these trees.

  • It is common at Mossman Gorge and along Jindalba boardwalk.
