About Your New Elaeocarpus reticulatus 'White'

From late spring into summer it produces delicate white bell-shaped flowers with fringed edges, followed by bright blue berries that draw native birds.

Blueberry Ash 'White' is adaptable, growing well in full sun to part shade across a range of well-drained soils from sandy to clay. It is drought tolerant once established and handles light frost, performing reliably in coastal, urban, and inland gardens across NSW, QLD, VIC and parts of SA and WA.
