Athertonia diversifolia

The beautiful, glossy foliage is the most striking feature of Athertonia diversifolia or Atherton Oak. From autumn to winter, it produces racemes of cream and brown flowers with blue fruits containing edible nuts - all contrasting against the bright foliage. The Australian rainforest tree can be used as a feature tree for parks and larger landscaping areas or as an eye-catching plant in a large container for a balcony or courtyard. The long-lasting foliage is popular for floral arrangements.
