Size: 1000L
Sale price$9,100.00

Cupaniopsis anacardioides (Tuckeroo) looks excellent as a resilient coastal or urban feature tree. Its dense, glossy foliage and bright orange-yellow fruit create a gorgeous, bird-attracting display that adds life and colour year-round.

Ideal for street planting, parks, and gardens, this medium-sized evergreen performs well in full sun to part shade, tolerates salt spray, wind, and pollution, and requires minimal maintenance. For added impact, underplant with coastal natives or low shrubs to enhance texture and habitat value while softening urban edges.
