What is Davidson Plum?
Davidson Plum (botanical name: Davidsonia jerseyana) is a rainforest fruit native to Australia, particularly thriving in the subtropical lowland rainforests of New South Wales. Once an endangered species in the wild, it is now cultivated for commercial use, ensuring a sustainable source of this beneficial fruit. During the peak summer months from November to February, each tree produces kilos of large, deep purple fruit bursting with skin-loving nutrients.
