Syzygium australe 'Up and Away' pbr
A striking Australian native shrub with an upright, columnar growth habit. It features glossy, dark green foliage that maintains a neat, compact form. In summer, it produces clusters of small, creamy-white flowers followed by bright red berries, adding seasonal interest and attracting birds. Its narrow, tall shape makes it perfect for space-saving hedges and screens.
Cultural
Thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained, moist soil. It is drought-tolerant once established and benefits from regular pruning to maintain its narrow, upright form. This cultivar is hardy and adaptable to a range of soil types and urban conditions. For best growth and vibrant foliage, apply a slow-release fertiliser in spring.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for creating narrow, upright hedges and privacy screens in tight spaces where height is needed without excessive width. Its compact columnar form makes it perfect for small gardens, courtyards, and along pathways or fences. It’s also suitable for formal garden designs, container planting, and urban landscapes requiring neat, space-saving greenery.
