    Default Help to identify tree

    Hi Everyone.

    I'm removing this tree and wondering if anyone can id it for me, please? I've no idea what it is.

    The last photo has a few stray leaves in it: it's the log I'm showing there only.

    It's about 20 metres tall. The leaves are a little wavy on the ridges. There were occasional small bumps, protruding less than 1cm from the trunk, though I'm not sure if that's very helpful. I couldn't see any flowers or fruit.

    Thanks very much.

    Default More info, still looking for id

    I thought I'd add: it had a bit of water in it, no sap leaked. It's leaves are opposite. Anyone?

    It looks similar to a native frangipani.

    Looks a bit like a fig of some sort, is the sap milky/sticky?

    If you find a post of mine that is missing a pic that you'd like to see, let me know & I'll see if I can find a copy.

    I had a look at Hymenosporum and see the similarity in the leaves, but I don't think it's one of those. Thanks for the suggestion.

    It's not fig-like sap, again thanks for the suggestion.

    I should add the trunk is probably about 700mm.

    Any other thoughts?

    I'm thinking it may be one of the Cryptocarya sp.
    glaucescens perhaps? but I'm not sure where you are and where it's distribution ends
