About Waterhousea floribunda ‘Amaroo’ – Amaroo Weeping Lilly Pilly
About Waterhousea floribunda ‘Amaroo’ – Amaroo Weeping Lilly Pilly
Waterhousea floribunda ‘Amaroo’ is an evergreen Australian native tree with a graceful, weeping growth habit and a soft, layered canopy. It produces narrow, glossy green leaves that hang gently from fine stems, creating a textured and flowing appearance. New growth emerges fresh and vibrant before maturing to deep green.
It performs best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soils with consistent moisture during establishment. ‘Amaroo’ is well suited to warm temperate and subtropical climates and tolerates humidity, coastal exposure, and regular pruning. It responds well to shaping, making it suitable for screening and controlled canopy development.
They look excellent when used for screening, feature planting, and softening boundaries in residential and commercial landscapes. This cultivar is commonly specified where evergreen coverage, gentle form, and reliable performance in eastern Australian climates are required.
