Blue Berry Ash

: Australin native

Pink flowering form

My Blueberry ash, Elaeocarpus reticulatus is looking pretty at this time of the year with its pink, fringed bell like flowers. The blue egg shaped 9 - 10mm long fruit will follow and ripen in about three months.

This large shrub or small tree is found mainly in rainforest areas and in moist coastal gullies from Tasmania to southern Queensland. The young foliage starts bronze changing to dark green as the plant matures. These trees start slowly, but will make an attractive specimen tree in protected areas free from frost.
