What is Elaeocarpus Reticulatus?

Known commonly as blueberry ash, this versatile Australian native tree stands out with its elegant foliage and showy clusters of flowers. Thriving along Australia's east coast, it's ideal for coastal and subtropical gardens. Its hardy nature ensures resilience in various growing conditions.

How to Care for Elaeocarpus Reticulatus

Blueberry ash thrives in well-drained soil with regular watering. While it can grow in both full sun and partial shade, regular pruning maintains its shape and encourages denser growth. Applying a slow release native fertiliser during growing months promotes healthy blooms and vibrant leaf colour.

The Beauty of Blueberry Ash Flowers and Berries

Throughout spring and early summer, blueberry ash produces splendid clusters of fringed flowers, drawing attention to any garden. These are followed by distinctive blue berries, which are a food source for many bird species, enhancing the ecological value of your garden.

Ideal Growing Conditions

Elaeocarpus reticulatus is tolerant of a range of soil types but prefers slightly acidic, well-drained soils. It is well suited to the climatic conditions found in New South Wales and southern Queensland, enduring mild frost and coastal exposure when established.

Benefits of Planting Elaeocarpus Reticulatus

By including blueberry ash in your garden, you support Australian biodiversity and create a habitat for local wildlife. Its distinctive flowers and berries add a touch of elegance, making it an attractive addition to any landscape while promoting environmental sustainability.
