Elaeocarpus Grandis (Blue Quandong)

Elaeocarpus grandis is a fast-growing Australian rainforest tree valued for its impressive size, distinctive foliage and attractive blue fruit. It develops a strong, upright form with a pale grey trunk and prominent buttress roots, while the glossy green leaves provide a lush canopy and older leaves turn a striking red before falling. Small greenish-white, bell-shaped flowers appear along the branches, followed by the characteristic bright blue, rounded fruit.

As a large feature or shade tree, Elaeocarpus Grandis (Blue Quandong) brings a strong native rainforest character to spacious landscapes and is particularly well suited to larger gardens, parks and revegetation projects. Its flowers and colourful fruit also provide valuable habitat and food for native wildlife, making it an attractive choice where a substantial Australian native tree is required.
