The Details

Syzygium australe 'Resilience' - Lilly Pilly Profile

Syzygium australe ‘Resilience’ is one of the most widely planted Lilly Pilly cultivars in New South Wales and Queensland, known for its pest resistance, dense foliage, and reliable performance. This Australian native evergreen shrub or small tree develops a thick, bushy canopy with minimal pruning, making it excellent for privacy screening, fast establishment, and low-maintenance landscaping.

They look excellent when used as dense hedges or informal screens, creating year-round visual interest with glossy deep green leaves and striking red to copper new growth. Spring and summer bring fluffy white flowers followed by vibrant red to purple berries that attract native birds, adding ecological value.

‘Resilience’ thrives in full sun to part shade, tolerates drought once established, and adapts well to various soils without the need for chemical treatments. It’s a top choice for residential and commercial projects requiring durable, attractive screening, formal or informal structure, and a sustainable landscape element.

      Plant Spacing Recommendations

      Hedging & Screening: 1m spacing for dense hedge or up to 1.5m for more informal

      Feature Tree: 2 – 3 meters

      Avenue Planting: Not typically used as avenue planting
