Syzygium australe - Lilly Pilly
Syzygium australe—commonly known as Brush Cherry or Lilly Pilly—is a fast-growing, evergreen Australian native tree or large shrub valued for its dense, glossy green foliage and versatility in landscaping. It features attractive coppery red new growth, creamy white flowers in late spring to summer, and decorative pink to dark red edible berries, adding seasonal interest and wildlife value.
They look excellent when used as dense hedges, privacy screens, or formal shaped specimens. This species thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to enriched, well-drained soils, tolerating coastal exposure, light frost, and moderate drought once established. Its tolerance to pruning and psyllid resistance make it ideal for low-maintenance urban gardens and commercial landscapes.
For enhanced visual impact, Syzygium australe hedges can be underplanted with shade-tolerant groundcovers or small flowering perennials to create layered, textural garden designs.
