About Elaeocarpus reticulatus 'White'

Elaeocarpus reticulatus ‘White’ (White Blueberry Ash) is a graceful evergreen Australian native tree admired for its delicate white bell-shaped flowers, glossy dark green foliage with pinkish new growth, and vibrant blue berries that attract native birds. With a narrow, upright growth habit reaching 8–15 meters tall and 3–5 meters wide, it offers both structure and seasonal beauty, making it a superb choice for hedging, screening, and feature planting.

Thriving in full sun to partial shade, this highly drought-tolerant tree adapts well to a variety of well-drained soils, from sandy to clay, and withstands light frost. Its dense canopy creates an excellent privacy screen or windbreak, while its low-maintenance nature means occasional pruning is all that’s needed to maintain a neat, lush appearance.
