Visited tropical fruit farm in Australia on holiday and took this picture  unfortunately, didn't take the name of tree!
Anyone know what it is?

Looks like a bad attack of blackfly!!

So those fruit are growing on the actual trunk and branches of the tree??

Lady Cosmos

I think it is the JABOTICABA tree
tall tree with white flowers and fruit like grapes
The fruit grows on the bark of the tree and it takes more than 5 year to get some fruit on it.

(MYRCIARia caulifloura) ???

Thank you so much - yes, that's it.
The fruit was on the branches and trunk - looked so strange!
tasted a bit like lychee (the flesh did) although the skins were somewhat tougher than grape skins and a little sour for my taste.
