Learn About Your New Syzygium australe 'Resilience' (Cone) - Resilience Lilly Pilly Cone

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.

Backfill and water: Fill the hole, tamp down lightly, and water thoroughly.

Post Planting Care

When planting a new tree or shrub, proper watering is essential to ensure healthy establishment and long-term growth. Follow these guidelines to give your plant the best start:

  1. Immediately After Planting:
    Water generously right after planting to settle the soil around the roots and eliminate air pockets. This helps the roots make good contact with the soil.
  2. First Three Months (Establishment Phase):
    The initial three months are critical for root development. Water deeply twice daily (morning and evening) to encourage strong, deep root growth.
  3. Irrigation Systems:
    If using an irrigation system, adjust it to provide adequate water during the establishment phase. Ensure the water reaches the root zone without overwatering.
  4. Weather Considerations:
    Adjust watering based on weather conditions. Increase frequency during hot, dry periods and reduce it during cooler, wetter seasons.
  5. Ongoing Care:
    After the establishment phase (3 months), gradually reduce watering frequency but ensure the plant receives consistent moisture, especially during dry spells.

Long Term & Ongoing Care

Watering: Regular deep watering during the first three months is crucial. Once established, reduce to weekly watering in dry periods.

Pruning: Prune annually to maintain its conical shape and remove any dead or damaged branches.

Pest and Disease Monitoring: This variety is resilient to common pests and diseases. Monitor regularly, especially in humid conditions.

Fertilization: Apply a slow-release fertilizer in spring to support vigorous growth.

Growing Your Syzygium australe Resilience Cones in Various Soil Types

Ideal Drainage: Prefers well-drained soil conditions for optimal growth.

Well-draining Soil: Enhance by mixing organic material to improve structure and drainage.

Sandy Soil: Regular applications of compost or balanced fertilizer will maintain nutrient levels.
