Syzygium australe Resilience Cones

Title: 90L/100L
Sale price$1,600.00

Syzygium australe ‘Resilience’ Cones are dense, evergreen topiary trees shaped into elegant conical forms, offering a striking architectural element for formal gardens and structured landscapes. Known for their hardiness and psyllid resistance, these cone-shaped Lilly Pillys provide year-round interest with glossy dark green foliage and vibrant red new growth that adds stunning colour contrast.

They look excellent when used as driveway flankers, formal rows, or feature plantings in large containers. Summer brings small fluffy white flowers followed by pink-purple berries, enhancing their ornamental value and attracting native wildlife.

Ideal for full sun to part shade, they adapt well to a variety of well-drained soils and tolerate drought once established, light frost, and urban pollution. Low-maintenance with minimal pruning required to maintain their symmetrical form, ‘Resilience’ Cones offer a reliable, eye-catching choice for both commercial and residential landscapes. For impact, plant with complementary low groundcovers or shade-tolerant perennials beneath.
