Anyone know what this cherry looking thing is?
I was going for a walk somewhere in Brisbane and I saw these on the side of the road, google says they're Barbados Cherry but they're not. The inside isn't the same or the shape

Looks a bit like a bush apple. Found on the side of the road on their own already picked? Just info about if you saw a shrub or tree could help 😌

Or or Achacha. I didn’t think they grew in Australia but apparently they do!

Pretty sure it's "glossy laurel", Cryptocarya laevigata - link to photo for reference: https://www.flickr.com/photos/tgerus/50018288936

The pit inside and internal structure to me does look like a true cherry, agreed not Barbados cherry.
I'm afraid I can't offer any more pointers, don't suppose you have any pics of the tree it came from?
