Lilly Pillies
Best Lilly Pillies in Australia
Lilly Pillies are the most popular hedging and screening tree in Australia for good reason — fast-growing, evergreen, native, low-maintenance, and tough enough to handle most climates from tropical Queensland through to cool-temperate Tasmania. Browse 27 varieties below — from compact 1-2m hedging Lilly Pillies through to feature trees that reach 6-8m.
Choosing the right Lilly Pilly variety
- For dense privacy hedging (2-4m): Resilience, Backyard Bliss, Hedgemaster
- For tall screening hedges (4-6m): Straight & Narrow, Pinnacle
- For feature trees (6-8m): Waterhousea Floribunda (Weeping Lilly Pilly), Winterlights
- For tight spaces / pots: Resilience, Backyard Bliss — both tolerate restricted root space well
Why Australians choose Lilly Pillies
Fast growth — most varieties add 1-1.5m per year in good conditions, so you'll have a screening hedge within 2 years. Psyllid-resistant cultivars — newer varieties like Resilience, Hedgemaster and Straight & Narrow have been bred to resist Lilly Pilly psyllids (the bumpy-leaf pest that affected older varieties). Native — supports local birdlife with fruit and flowers. Drought-tolerant once established — deep root system makes them very water-efficient. Tolerant of pruning — cut hard, they'll come back denser.
