Elaeocarpus reticulatus White

Common Name:
White Blueberry Ash

Description:
Elaeocarpus reticulatus White is an elegant evergreen Australian native tree prized for its glossy green foliage and masses of delicate white fringed flowers that appear from spring through summer. The blooms hang gracefully beneath the branches and are lightly scented, attracting birds, bees and other pollinators to the garden. This white-flowering form offers a refined alternative to the traditional pink varieties while maintaining the same lush ornamental appeal. It performs exceptionally well in Melbourne’s climate, thriving in full sun to part shade with moist, well-drained soil. Ideal for feature planting, screening, hedging or large pots, it develops a dense canopy that responds well to pruning. Mature plants may also produce attractive blue berries following flowering, adding further seasonal interest.
