Syzigium suborbiculare is a medium sized tree which produces a fruit resembling an apple, hence it's common name Red Apple. The seed is large and coated with a thick white flesh. The fruit's not all that fantastic but is edible. Aboriginal people call it Mandjarduk. It flowers in the build-up and is an Aboriginal calendar plant indicating the coming of the rains.
