A refined and highly versatile feature tree for Brisbane and surrounds, the Blueberry Ash brings year-round structure with the added delight of seasonal flowers and decorative fruit. Its naturally upright, well-balanced form makes it ideal for small to medium gardens, courtyards and as a statement tree in layered garden designs.

In spring, soft pink-tinged white flowers appear, followed by striking electric-blue berries that contrast beautifully against the glossy green foliage and attract birdlife. Evergreen and elegant, this tree works just as well in contemporary gardens as it does in classic or native-inspired landscapes.

Why it’s a feature tree

  • Elegant evergreen form with a strong architectural presence

  • Spring flowers followed by vivid blue berries

  • Excellent bird-attracting tree

  • Suits smaller gardens without overwhelming the space

Planting companions
Pair the Blueberry Ash with lower-growing plants that enhance its form without competing:

  • Gardenia or Murraya for lush evergreen structure

  • Lomandra or Dianella for clean lines at the base

  • Liriope or Dwarf Mondo for a soft, layered understorey

  • Philodendron ‘Xanadu’ for bold foliage contrast in part shade

Growing conditions & care

  • Position in full sun to part shade

  • Prefers well-drained soil, enriched with organic matter

  • Water regularly while establishing (first 6–12 months)

  • Once established, it is moderately drought tolerant

  • Mulch well to retain moisture and protect roots in summer

A beautiful choice if you’re looking for a low-maintenance, design-led feature tree that performs reliably in Brisbane’s subtropical climate while adding subtle seasonal interest.
