Learn About Your New Syzygium 'Resilience' - Resilience Lilly Pilly

Syzygium 'Resilience' (Standard) is a top-grafted Lilly Pilly known for its dense, compact spherical canopy and strong resistance to psyllid pests. This Australian native offers excellent structure with glossy deep green foliage and striking copper-red new growth, making it an eye-catching addition to formal gardens, entryways, or avenue plantings.

They look excellent when used as topiary features or repeated standards in rows, providing neat, consistent form with low maintenance. Summer brings fluffy white flowers followed by pink-purple berries that attract birds, adding seasonal interest and wildlife value.

This variety thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to most free-draining soils. Its high pruning tolerance and pest resistance make it a reliable choice for both residential and commercial landscapes. For added impact, ‘Resilience’ standards can be underplanted with low-growing groundcovers or shade-tolerant plants to create layered, structured garden designs.

Ensuring A Strong Start

How to Plant:

  • Choose a location with well-draining soil and full sun to partial shade exposure.
  • Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball.
  • Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it is at the correct depth.
  • Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture.

Root Ball Dimensions (Width × Depth) for Planting

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.

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

Caring for Syzygium 'Resilience':

  • Water regularly, especially during extended dry periods, to establish a deep, extensive root system.
  • Fertilize with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring.
  • Prune as needed to maintain shape, encourage new growth, and maintain a dense foliage cover.

Loamy Soil: Ideal for strong root development and healthy foliage.

Acidic or Alkaline Soil: Tolerates a wide pH range, but performs best in slightly acidic to neutral soils.
