Three times as tall as Acmena smithii Minor, this native lillypilly will grow into an ornamental tree full of fluffy white flowers in summer and white, pink or purple berries in winter. The birds and nectar-feeding mammals will love both - and if they save you any berries you can make bushtucker jam from them.
