PLANT PROFILE

Syzygium australe ‘Winter Lights’ is a narrow, upright evergreen shrub or small tree known for its striking ornamental colour and dense form. Its new growth bursts with vivid bronze, orange, and red hues before maturing to glossy deep green, creating excellent seasonal contrast.

They look excellent when used as narrow hedges, privacy screens, or in formal garden settings where vibrant colour and structure are desired. Suited to full sun or part shade, it thrives in well-drained soils including coastal sands and clays. Summer brings fluffy white flowers followed by red berries that attract birds, adding ecological value.

For extra impact, ‘Winter Lights’ can be underplanted with shade-tolerant groundcovers or small perennials to soften the base and create layered textures in urban or residential landscapes. Low maintenance and moderate drought tolerance make it a practical and beautiful choice for contemporary gardens.

Mature Width: 2 m – 3 m

Avenue Planting: Not typically used as avenue planting

Site Selection: Choose a well-draining location with sufficient sunlight or partial shade.

Planting Hole: Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and two to three times wider. Place the tree at the same depth as it was in the container.

Backfill: Replace soil around the root ball, gently tamping it down. Water thoroughly after planting.

Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and control weeds.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
