[ID] Tree identification please

[Neverenoughtrees]

Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out what kind of Lilly Pilly (I think it's a Lilly Pilly) this is.

Any ideas guys?

cheers

Not sure we can identify the species just from leaves, especially out of focus pics. i believe id will require fruit to differentiate between species.

Some harsh critics here. The last pic is out of focus because the camera is set on "Auto' focus.

The first pic is clear enough for me.

Sorry, the pics are a bit fussy.

I've attached a new pic. Hope this helps.

cheers

Hi,
If that is normal leaf size then it looks a lot like my syzygium australe 'elegance'. I can take a photo of mine in morning if you like? Leaves are smaller than a standard lilly pilly but not as small as tiny trev

Hi,
Sorry it took so long, natives have been restless today

I took a pic of both 'elegance' and tiny trev next to each other. Ignore new paler leaves and focus on dark green mature ones.

Australe Elegance leaves are around 4-5cm, while tiny trev are 2-3cm. Both can get a bit bigger if fed really well. Your trunk has a distinctive syzygium pinkish blush, very different from the warm brown and textured smithii. I'm thinking you have some type of australe, if not exactly the same type, there are a fair few available for general garden use. Lilly pilly flowers are generally the same, so that probably wont give any answers I'm just a geneticist, not a horticulturist, so perhaps someone else can provide a more specific answer.
Hopefully my ramble was of some use
