User's notes
A small to medium native tree, this was given to me as seeds from ‘Pocock’s Quarry’ in the Punchbowl area (near Copmanhurst where it is now planted). In April it has miniscule, unusually-shaped yellow-green coloured flowers, with a few fine red dots near the opening where red-orange stamens protrude. (Photo 5 shows flower and unopened buds) and the leaves are strong and reasonably glossy. It produces very few seeds.

@MazzV Good evening !
Please share everything you know about the fruits and their seeds inside .
Looks like foliage and flowers of one of the species of the botanical plant family Lauraceae, eg. one of the 10+ spp. in the region there of the genus Endiandra .

Hi There @JasonPStewartNMsnc2016 !
I don't remember the fruit very well, it was quite some time ago. But I have vague recollections of it being quite large relative to its miniscule flowers, perhaps large marble size. It may have had a rough surface and just 1 seed per fruit. As said, my imagination my be filling in some of memory's blank spaces!! Does any of that fit with your thoughts? Apologies for late reply, only just found this comment, and I've been a bit off the air lately.
