Sygygium pseudofastigiatum

Botanical Name: Syzygium pseudofastigiatum
Author: B.Hyland
Common Name: Claudie Satinash
Family: Myrtaceae

Location

Confined to the Cape York Peninsula in Queensland. It occurs north from Massey Creek in rainforest and particularly in gallery forest at altitudes below 450 m.

It is not a common tree in gardens this far south, so why not visit ours in the Fruit Loop?

A rare tree to 35 m high, the cream flowers are not particularly inspiring, but in late summer to autumn, it produces clusters of edible white berries which contrast beautifully with the glossy dark green leaves.

This species is available from specialist native nurseries, it is frost tender and will need a warm position in your garden.
