Syzygium Elite - lilly pilly

In stock

$4.70

Gently weeping branches and a dense growth habit with orange-bronze coloured new growth. One of the best for topiary, fedges, and hedges to 5m tall, and definitely a contender for 'Most Flowery Lilly PIlly'.

Attracts native birds to the garden when flowering, and for its heaps of huge pink-red berries, and is a welcome refuge plant.

"My 30 Lilly Pilly plants arrived happy and healthy... and ready for their new home! I can’t wait to plant my new native fedge (fruit hedge)."
