Fast growing - hence the name, with bronze-red new growth after pruning. Small white flowers followed by big pink berries to attract wildlife. Grows to around 3m unclipped but can be pruned to 1m for low screens and hedges. (Although if you're going to clip it that hard, why not just choose Tiny Trev or Baby Boomer which are naturally dwarf?) Work out how many plants you need for your hedge here

Syzygium 'Cheetah' - lilly pilly
DESCRIPTION: 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 IN: Native and formal gardens as a fast screening and hedging plant, or topiary feature. Dense windbreak hedge. Attracts wildlife.
PLANTING: Plant in a full sun to partly shaded position 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: Prune 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 tube-stock plants, healthy young plants with new roots that will establish quickly in your garden. The average size of your plants will be 15 -25 cm in height including the pot height of 80 mm x 42 mm wide.
