Elaeocarpus reticulatus (Blueberry Ash)
Blueberry Ash is a small to medium tree that can grow in a wide variety of conditions. It is notable for its attractive white or pink flowers and blue berries.
The white variety is indigenous to the Illawarra and the more popular pink variety comes from the north coast.
It survives well in low-nutrient soils and can grow in various locations, from shade to full sun. The leaves are elliptical and serrated.
Gardening Australia had a segment on the Banksia Bushcare site at the end of Stanwell Avenue, which has a Blueberry Ash growing within the deer fence.
