Why It’s a Great Idea to Plant in Winter
Syzygium australe ‘Hinterland Gold’ is a hardy, fast-growing Australian native shrub highly valued for its brilliant golden new growth and dense evergreen foliage. Ideal for creating hedges, screens, and privacy barriers, this compact variety offers vibrant year-round colour and thrives in a wide range of garden styles, from formal landscapes to native-inspired designs.
Produces clusters of creamy-white fluffy flowers in summer, followed by small, fleshy pink berries that attract birds and provide additional ornamental interest.
Features glossy, deep green leaves with a spectacular flush of golden-yellow new growth that matures to rich green, adding constant contrast and visual appeal to the garden.
After flowering, small pink berries form, which attract birds and wildlife to the garden.
A naturally compact, upright shrub typically growing to around 3–4 m high and 2 m wide, but can be kept smaller with regular pruning, making it perfect for formal hedging.
