For all you more tropical, subtropical plant enthusiasts. This tree is growing in a carpark in Coffs Harbour. It's in the Sapindaceae family and probably a Cupaniopsis species.
Leaves are compound with alternate leaflets 3 to 6 with slight serrations or undulating margins and about 5 to 10 cm long.
Fruits split into 3 sections (forgotten proper botanical term) with one seed in each. Outside greenish to yellow and purple tinges with purple flesh inside.
I have an ID book at home that covers NSW and SE Qld rainforest species that I will attempt an ID from tonight. Hopefully it will be in it, but if anyone has an idea, let us know.
Like the Tuckeroo, Cupaniopsis anacardioides, it gets a muscly trunk and spreading nebari, but the foliage and ramifications seems finer and more suited to potential Bonsai.
