Description

Davidsonia jerseyana, also known as Davidson's plum or Mullumbimby plum, is a small, slender subtropical rainforest tree up to 10 metres (33 ft) high. The hairy leaves are compound and 35–60 cm (14–24 in) long, with 11–17 leaflets. It is endemic to a restricted area of northern New South Wales on the east coast of Australia. The tree's fruit emerge from the trunk, and superficially resemble the European plum. It is considered an endangered species. There are two other species of Davidson's plum.
