About Waterhousea floribunda ‘Green Avenue’ – Green Avenue Lilly Pilly

Waterhousea floribunda ‘Green Avenue’, commonly known as the Green Avenue Lilly Pilly, is a refined evergreen tree grown for its dense foliage and uniform form. The leaves are glossy, deep green, and slightly wavy, creating a full and lush canopy. New growth emerges with a soft copper flush before maturing to rich green, providing seasonal variation. In summer, it produces clusters of fluffy white flowers, followed by small pink berries that attract birds. Mature trees typically reach 8–12 metres in height and 5–7 metres in width, forming a rounded crown.

This variety has a moderate growth rate and is well suited to a wide range of soils provided drainage is good. It is an Australian native that performs well in full sun to part shade and tolerates light frost once established. Waterhousea floribunda ‘Green Avenue’ is adaptable to pruning, making it suitable for street planting, screening, or larger gardens. It is evergreen and low maintenance, providing reliable structure throughout the year.

They look excellent when planted along avenues, used for screening large boundaries, or featured in parks and civic landscapes. Their dense canopy makes them effective shade trees in gardens and open landscapes, while their tidy growth habit ensures a formal appearance in structured plantings.
