Hi All,
Hoping to identify this tree growing in front of my house, and I'm guessing it is some kind of gum. Any ideas?

Hi,
Yeah definitely not a gum. I think it may be some variety of fig. If you break a branch does it have milky sap?

Does look very much like a lilly pilly, i have read they do grow in Cape Town and fruit is used in jams there.

If it is a Lilly pilly, that is a Aussie native.

It could be Waterhousia floribunda weeping lilly pilly. Very hard to tell as there are so many.
