About Your New Elaeocarpus eumundi

Elaeocarpus eumundi, the Eumundi Quandong, is an elegant evergreen Australian native grown for its glossy dark green foliage, bronze-pink new growth, and gracefully dense upright form. The combination of fresh new growth against mature foliage gives it strong year-round presence.

Eumundi Quandong grows to 8-15 metres tall and just 3-5 metres wide. The naturally narrow upright habit makes it ideal as a privacy screen or feature tree where ground space is limited, suiting residential gardens, street planting, and shade use. Delicate white fringed flowers appear in summer, followed by occasional bright blue fruit that attracts native wildlife.

Eumundi Quandong thrives in warm temperate to subtropical regions including QLD, NSW, and frost-free parts of VIC. It tolerates light frost and urban pollution once established, performs well in full sun to part shade, and prefers a sheltered position with well-drained soil, though it handles occasional wet conditions.
