Ehretia saligna (Peach Bush)

Wikipedia Abstract

Ehretia saligna, commonly known as Peach Bush, Native Willow and Peachwood is a species of shrubs or small trees, endemic to Northern Australia. The natural range extends from the Gascoyne, across the Northern Territory throughout northern Queensland and coastal; regions of Southern Queensland and New South Wales. The plant is a moderately important browse species for cattle and sheep, especially in times of drought. In addition using the fruit as food, Aborigines used a decoction of the wood for pain relief. Although slow growing, it is also occasionally planted as a foliage tree. \n*
