Overview & Specifications
Silver Quandong Tree, Elaeocarpus grandis
The Silver Quandong is a commanding rainforest specimen that brings architectural scale and year-round presence to high-end landscapes. Advanced stock delivers the canopy depth and trunk character that define a mature, established property, without the decade-long wait.
Why Silver Quandong

Year-Round Foliage: Dense, glossy evergreen coverage provides consistent canopy and visual weight across all seasons.
Ornamental Fruit: Distinctive bright blue berries add seasonal colour and draw native wildlife, enhancing biodiversity on prestige properties.
Adaptability: Performs reliably across coastal and subtropical climates throughout Queensland and northern New South Wales.
Immediate Impact: Advanced specimens establish a sense of permanence and maturity from day one of installation.
Ideal Applications

Resort and Hospitality: Delivers the canopy presence expected in luxury resort, hotel, and wellness landscape projects.
Streetscape and Boulevard Planting: Suited to wide-verge commercial and civic streetscapes in appropriate climate zones.
