Hi All,

Does anyone have an idea on this tree?

It was taken from Jervis Bay, NSW

From what it looks like it is maybe a Olive???? or i may be mistaken.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Wild (African) Olive? Looks a lot like one I had in the backyard. These things are feral around Manly - self germinating seedlings used to grow faster than the lawn and nearly as thick. Have a couple of those seedlings I'm trying to fuse into a stump, but lack the bark and movement you've got there!
