Syzygium australe ‘Northern Select’ is a premium Australian native evergreen shrub renowned for its dense growth habit, glossy green foliage, and vibrant bronze new growth. Its naturally compact form and rapid growth make it one of the best choices for creating lush privacy screens, formal hedges, and topiary features.
During spring and summer, clusters of fluffy white flowers appear among the foliage, followed by attractive edible red to purple berries that attract birds and wildlife. Highly resistant to psyllids and adaptable to a range of conditions, ‘Northern Select’ provides year-round structure, colour, and reliability in both residential and commercial landscapes.
