Could I have some help with this? It has some very small blue berries on it which made me think it was a Blueberry Ash. The rosellas love it and a brown pigeon was tucking away at it yesterday. I'm told it is a native and I will need to control its spread! It's shot up out of nowhere.

Thank you so much Jackie. I may need to control it's height and size but this is really exciting

Just one more question - I looked up native peach and it said red berries. And none shown on the map on the east coast. Is this a variant?
