The Tuckeroo is a small to medium sized native rainforest tree growing to 8 metres in height and 5 to 8 metres in width. Its dense wide spreading glossy green foliage makes this a good shade and screen tree.

Greenish-white flowers appear in spring time followed by capsular orange fruit in summer that will attract birds.

Adapts to varying conditions including coastal climates and is tolerant to drought. Performs well in most soil types particularly well-drained sandy soils and in partial-shade to full sun.

Often used for shade in home gardens or as street trees.
