Description

Elaeocarpus reticulatus 'Prima Donna' - blueberry ash

APPEARANCE : Great native rainforest tree with bronze coloured new leaf growth; can grow to 7-8m but rarely in suburban gardens. Flowers spring to early summer with clusters of pale pink ballerina-tutu-like flowers, hence the name Prima Donna, sweetly scented and very pretty. Fruit is a blue berry.
USE FOR : Ideal for large hedges, screening plants; and avenue planting or as a single feature tree. A popular street tree.
PLANTING : Sunny position and is ideal in the warmer parts of Australia and in protected frost-free areas in cooler climates. Plant in free draining soil rich in organic matter and not over wet.
CARE : Mulch and water well, prune and fertilise yearly with a slow release native fertiliser. Pest and disease resistance is high so little maintenance is required once established.
HEIGHT & WIDTH : 4-7 m H x 3 m W on average.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
