Syzygium australe 'Pinnacle' is a psyllid-resistant cultivar prized for its dense, glossy foliage and vibrant coppery-bronze new growth that flushes through the warmer months against deep green mature leaves. Naturally vigorous with a tight upright habit, it shapes beautifully into a formal cone and holds height with ease. Fluffy white powderpuff flowers appear from late spring into summer, followed by edible deep-pink to magenta berries that draw birds to the garden. Hardier and more frost-tolerant than most topiary species, it performs across metropolitan Adelaide and into the Adelaide Hills where many feature plants struggle.
