Syzygium australe 'Pinnacle'

Size: 100L
Sale price$600.00

Syzygium australe ‘Pinnacle’ is a narrow-growing, evergreen Australian native shrub perfect for compact hedging and screening in tight spaces. It looks excellent when used to create clean, vertical privacy screens or formal hedges, maintaining a neat, slim columnar shape with minimal pruning.

With small glossy green leaves and dense growth, ‘Pinnacle’ forms a tidy vertical line without bulk, making it ideal for fences, driveways, and narrow garden beds. Creamy white spring and summer flowers add subtle interest, followed by small red berries that attract birds.

Highly tolerant of urban conditions and drought once established, it requires low maintenance and adapts well to well-drained soils. This cultivar is also excellent for topiary and structured garden designs where space efficiency and year-round greenery are essential.
