Elite' Lilly Pilly is a cultivar that does not occur naturally in the wild. However its parent species, Syzygium australe is native to Australia, commonly found in rainforests and moist, woodland areas along the eastern coastline, from Queensland down through New South Wales. | |
Leaf information: | Glossy, dark green leaves |
Preferred Soil: | Prefers well-drained soils enriched with organic matter |
Known for its rapid growth and dense, glossy foliage this plant is a good option for creating a quick privacy screen or hedge. It stands out for its uniform growth habit and the ability to maintain a neat appearance with minimal effort.
Care Considerations: | Regular watering is important during the establishment period after which the plant becomes relatively drought tolerant. To encourage dense growth and maintain the desired shape, it can be pruned regularly. A slow-release fertiliser can be applied in early spring to promote new growth and support the plant's overall health. |
