Capparis arborea is a bush or small tree found in eastern Australia, particularly in rainforest habitats. It can grow up to 8 meters tall and has a crooked, irregular trunk with sharp prickles on younger plants. Its leaves are oblong-lanceolate in shape and have visible veins on both surfaces. The plant produces single white flowers with fringed petals from January to March, and its fruit, which resembles a guava, ripens from December to March. The fruit is edible and was a source of food for Aboriginal people. Germination from fresh seeds is not difficult, with the first seeds sprouting after three weeks.
