About Auranticarpa rhombifolia (A.Cunn. ex Hook.) L.W.Cayzer, Crisp & I.Telford

Auranticarpa rhombifolia is a small tree that grows up to 25 metres tall, with a trunk reaching up to 45 centimetres in diameter. Its grey bark is irregular, uneven, not smooth, and almost corky in texture. The leaves are alternately arranged, shaped like a rhomboid, and measure 5 to 10 centimetres long and 4 to 7 centimetres wide. The upper half of each leaf has unevenly spaced teeth, while the portion closer to the stem is toothless. The midrib, lateral veins, and net veins are clearly visible on both the upper and lower surfaces of the leaf. It is a very popular ornamental tree. It requires well-drained soil, and full sun to produce a significant display of orange fruit.
