Good try with number 4 but heres a hint 'ovum = egg, what's in the centre of an egg?"

Good work on these guys. I know they were not easy. :2tsup: all the others are correct. Just number 4 to get.

Centre of egg. thats where I conjured up my white from, I know its
not the centre, but I cant do anything with yolk/yellow in five letters
unless its lemon.

Howdy Elbow,
Not sure on this one at all, but I suppose silky oak is grevillea robusta, I
think, as in robust native.

But I was going with Mulberry "Jam" = clog/choke = gum
