🌿 General Information – Lilly Pillies (Syzygium australe) are a fast-growing, hardy Australian native shrub or small tree. Loved for its dense growth habit, glossy green foliage, and colourful new growth, it’s an ideal choice for formal hedges, privacy screens, or feature plants. All varieties produce small white flowers followed by edible, pinkish-red berries that attract birds and pollinators.
