Image of Blueberry Ash

The Blueberry Ash is a small tree or large shrub that occurs naturally in eastern Australian forests and adjacent communities. When mature it has a rounded shape with dark green, glossy leaves. It produces fragrant white pendulous flowers during spring and early summer. Suitable for a range of sites, except those with severe frosts, it responds well to pruning and can also provide a useful hedge or screen.
