Notelaea Longifolia (Large Mock Olive) is a hardy Australian native shrub or small tree admired for its elegant, glossy green foliage and naturally dense growth habit. Clusters of small creamy-white flowers appear in spring, followed by attractive blue to black berries that provide a valuable food source for native birds. Its neat form and adaptability make it an excellent choice for hedging, screening, feature planting, or enhancing native and wildlife-friendly gardens.
Highly resilient and easy to maintain, Notelaea Longifolia (Large Mock Olive) thrives in a wide range of well-drained soils and tolerates drought once established. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round structure and privacy, while its ability to respond well to pruning allows it to be shaped into formal hedges or left to develop naturally. Combining ornamental appeal with practical landscape value, this versatile native is an outstanding addition to both residential and commercial gardens.
