Elaeocarpus decipiens - Japanese Blueberry Tree

Market price from $42.50 to $97.99

Elaeocarpus decipiens is a captivating evergreen, better known by its more picturesque title - the Japanese Blueberry Tree. With richly textured, glossy foliage that theatrically transitions from an engaging pinkish-red in its youth to a mature, resilient green, this visual stunner reaches an impressive 20 to 35 feet in height, and spreads comfortably across 15 to 20 feet. During the spring and simmer, it graces its surroundings with dainty, bell-shaped flowers, colored a delicate white to soft pink, only to replace these blossoms with unique, ornamental blue-black fruits as the seasons change. Adored not just for its quaint aesthetics, this tree is also remarkably resistant and low-maintenance, requiring moderate water, flourishing in both full sun and partial shade, and being adaptable to variety of soil conditions. Be it for a privacy screen or as an arresting centerpiece, the Japanese Blueberry Tree will seamlessly infuse vibrant vigor and tranquil serenity into any landscape, all year round.
