Prima Donna Blueberry Ash - Elaeocarpus reticulatus ‘Prima Donna’
‘Prima Donna’ is the deep pink flowering selection of Elaeocarpus reticulatus, an east coast rainforest-margin tree that has become one of the most-used narrow screening natives in Australian landscape design. The habit is naturally upright and layered rather than spreading, so a row of them fills a boundary vertically without eating into the garden. Fringed bell flowers hang along the branches in spring and early summer and are followed by hard blue-black berries that birds strip through autumn.
Why Prima Donna Blueberry Ash
Flower Colour: The bells are a clear deep pink rather than the white of the ordinary species, and they are held in profusion along the underside of each branch.
Upright Habit: A narrow, slightly columnar crown makes it usable in beds too tight for most screening trees.
Blue Berries: Glossy blue drupes follow flowering and hold on the tree for months, feeding currawongs, koels and other fruit-eating birds.
New Growth Colour: Fresh flushes emerge bronze to russet and scattered old leaves turn red before dropping, so there is colour beyond the flowering window.
Shade Tolerance: Unlike most screening natives it performs in part shade, including the southern side of a house.
Ideal Applications
Narrow boundary screen: Repeated at close spacing it blocks a two-storey neighbour without a wide planting bed.
Courtyard feature tree: Well behaved roots and a compact crown make it safe near paving and structures.
Native mixed border: Sits comfortably with lomandra, dianella and tree ferns in a subtropical or rainforest-style planting.
Bird garden: Combines nectar in spring and fruit in autumn in a single plant.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4 to 5m
Best Planting Season: Spring and autumn, avoiding hard frost periods in cold districts
Soil & Drainage: Moist, humus rich, free draining soil, slightly acid preferred, will sulk in dry compacted clay
Establishment Care: Water deeply twice weekly for the first summer and mulch to 75mm to keep the root zone cool and damp. Feed with a slow release native fertiliser in early spring from the second year and tip prune lightly after flowering to thicken the screen.
