Elaeocarpus Reticulatus (Blueberry Ash) - Native Shrubs & Trees - Garden View Nursery

• Native to eastern Australia's rainforests and wet sclerophyll forests, naturally occurring from Queensland to Victoria.
• Produces masses of small white bell-shaped flowers in spring, followed by distinctive bright blue berries that attract native birds.
• Grows as a medium-sized tree with glossy green leaves and an attractive rounded canopy.
• Highly valued for its ornamental berries, wildlife attraction, and reliable performance in Australian garden conditions.

• Water deeply once or twice weekly during establishment, then reduce to fortnightly in mature plants.
• Position in full sun to partial shade with protection from strong winds in exposed locations.
• Plant in well-draining soil enriched with compost, avoiding heavy clay or waterlogged areas.
• Feed with slow-release native plant fertiliser in spring and autumn for optimal growth.
• Prune lightly in late winter to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches.
• Mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

• Provide full sun to partial shade for optimal flowering and fruiting, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily.
• Water deeply but infrequently, allowing soil to dry between waterings, especially during winter months.
• Plant in well-draining soil with good organic content, avoiding waterlogged or clay-heavy areas.
• Apply balanced native plant fertiliser in spring and autumn for healthy growth.
• Prune lightly after fruiting to maintain shape and encourage new growth for next season's display.

• Scale insects can appear on branches and leaves, causing yellowing and stunted growth. Treat with horticultural oil or insecticidal soap applied in early morning or evening.
• Root rot may occur in poorly draining soils, leading to wilting and leaf drop. Ensure excellent drainage and reduce watering frequency.
• Leaf spot diseases can develop in humid conditions, creating brown patches on foliage. Improve air circulation and avoid overhead watering.
• Aphids may cluster on new growth, causing curled leaves and sticky honeydew. Spray off with water or apply neem oil treatment.
