Syzygium Resilience 'Standard'

Size: 40cm/45L
Sale price$340.00

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.
