Syzygium australe ‘Big Red’

Syzygium australe ‘Big Red’ is a popular Australian native evergreen tree and screening plant, well known for its glossy green foliage and vibrant red new growth. This fast-growing variety produces large, attractive flushes of deep red leaves, creating a stunning contrast against the mature dark green foliage.

It forms a dense, bushy habit, making it ideal for hedges, privacy screens, feature planting, and windbreaks. In summer, it may produce clusters of fluffy white flowers followed by edible pink to red berries that attract birds.

‘Big Red’ is hardy, low maintenance, and adaptable to a range of soils and conditions. It responds well to pruning and can be shaped into a formal hedge or allowed to grow naturally as an ornamental tree. It is a great choice for gardens seeking year-round colour, privacy, and native wildlife appeal.
