PLANT PROFILE

Acmena smithii 'Minor' – Minor Lilly Pilly is a compact, evergreen shrub reaching 3–4m with dense branching and bronzy-red new growth that matures to glossy green. Its tidy form and moderate height make it highly effective for smaller hedges, screens, or feature planting in structured landscapes.

They look excellent in tight garden beds, along fence lines, or in containers where colour contrast and refined scale are needed. Summer flowers are followed by magenta berries, attracting native birds and adding seasonal interest.

Psyllid-resistant and well-suited to a range of soil types, this variety requires minimal maintenance and adapts well to full sun or part shade. A practical, low-fuss choice for modern gardens.

Mature Height: 3 m – 4 m

Mature Width: 2 m – 2.5 m

40 – 70 cm per year (moderate to fast)

Hedging & Screening: Plant 1 m – 1.5 m apart for dense, formal hedging or screening

Feature Plant: Plant 2 m – 2.5 m apart to allow for full shape development in open space

Avenue Planting: Not commonly used, but space 2.5 m – 3 m apart if planted in a row

How to Plant Acmena smithii 'Minor'

  1. Pick a Spot: Select an area with good sunlight exposure; it tolerates partial shade.
  2. Soil Amendment: Add compost to the planting soil for added nutrients.
  3. Dig: Create a hole about twice the size of the root ball.
  4. Positioning: Plant the 'Minor' Lilly Pilly in the hole, backfill, and press the soil firmly.
  5. Water: Ensure a thorough watering immediately after planting.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
