Overview & Specifications
Hard Quandong Tree, Elaeocarpus obovatus
A robust Australian native that delivers year-round structure and enduring presence. Elaeocarpus obovatus is a proven performer in prestige landscapes, dense, handsome, and unapologetically architectural in advanced form.
Why Hard Quandong
Canopy Character: Dense, rounded crown with lustrous dark foliage that holds its form through all seasons.
Native Credentials: Indigenous to coastal and subtropical rainforest margins, making it highly adaptable across a range of Australian conditions.

Low Maintenance: Once established, demands little intervention, a sound long-term investment for high-specification landscapes.
Advanced Impact: Supplied as a mature specimen, delivering immediate canopy, scale, and presence from day one.
Ideal Applications

Streetscape and Boulevard Planting: Responds well to formal avenue treatments in large-scale civic or residential projects.
