Elaeocarpus


Thanks to Moira, Tony, Jane, Joan, & Beverly, for elucidating this muddle.  I'm sure it was, as Tony said, a 'slip of the pen,' , and the plant label should have read E. denticulata.  It is indeed, as Beverly reported a slow grower, with a total of five leaves after what appears to be two year's growth. I will have to be patient.
 
 
>>Tony Rudd:  All are worth growing: I especially like the small-leaved E. obovatus from littoral rainforests and the very tall and fast-growing E. grandis of riverine rainforests, which drops intense blue fruit the size of large marbles.
 
Tony, would you know if E. grandis can curvive the occasional frost?
