🌿 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.
🌿 Care & Maintenance
Watering: Water regularly until established; drought tolerant once mature
Feeding: Use a slow-release native fertilizer in spring and summer
Pruning: Regular light pruning encourages bushier growth and maintains shape
Pests: Generally psyllid-resistant
Mulching: Apply mulch around the base to retain moisture and reduce weeds
Positioning: Prefers sunny spots but tolerates part shade
