Description

Syzygium 'Cheetah' - lilly pilly

APPEARANCE : Fast growing as the name suggests, ideal for those looking to create a privacy screen in a hurry. New growth has an attractive reddish tint. Huge pink berries. Denser and bushier than Resilience or Aussie Southern.
USE FOR : Native and formal gardens as a fast screening and hedging plant, or topiary feature. Dense windbreak hedge. Attracts wildlife.
PLANTING: Plant in full sun to part shade in the garden. Mulch and water regularly until the plant is established, usually around 12 weeks. Hardy shrub, tolerates light frost and dry conditions once established.
CARE: Clip at least three times a year to encourage dense growth and flushes of new foliage. We encourage tip pruning these plants when young for maximum bushiness. Apply a native slow release fertiliser during spring.
HEIGHT & WIDTH: Up to 3 m H x 3m W.
YOUR PLANTS : These are tubestock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The pot size is 80mm high and 42 mm wide.
You can see an example in the image gallery.
