About Syzygium australe ‘Up & Away’ – Up & Away Lilly Pilly

Syzygium australe ‘Up & Away’ is a narrow, upright evergreen screening tree selected for its strong vertical growth and compact width. It produces dense, glossy green foliage that forms a clean, columnar profile, making it ideal where height is needed without excessive spread.

New growth emerges with a fresh flush before maturing to deep green, maintaining a consistent, tidy appearance. It performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils with regular watering during establishment. This variety responds well to pruning, allowing controlled shaping where required.

They look excellent when used for tight screening, boundary planting, and along fences or driveways where space is limited. This cultivar is commonly specified where a narrow hedge or vertical screen is required without sacrificing density.
