''Elaeocarpus reticulatus'', the blueberry ash, is a large shrub or tree which can grow to a height of 15 metres. In New South Wales rainforests it can attain a height of 30 metres. Its most conspicuous features are white or pink cup-shaped flowers with fringed edges and round blue fruits. Strictly botanically, the fruits are not true berries but drupes. Blueberry ash also has leaves which turn bright red as they get older.
This is a hardy plant, and grows natively in eastern Australia.. more
