Caring for the Backyard Bliss Lilly Pilly is hassle-free:

1. Pruning:

Keep the soil consistently moist during the initial months after planting.

Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in late winter or early spring for healthy foliage and fruit development.

5. Mulching:

Use mulch to retain soil moisture, control weeds, and protect roots, but avoid contact with the trunk.

6. Monitoring:

Regularly check for signs of stress, like yellowing leaves or unusual growth, and address issues promptly.
