Syzygium australe
Lilly Pilly
This Australian native has a compact, upright growth habit that responds well to trimming. New foliage is a maroon-red that changes to a glossy, dark-green as it ages. Produces white flowers in spring, followed by small, edible, pink or dark-red fruit in autumn and winter. Great for hedging, screening, and topiary. Once established, will tolerate coastal and drought conditions.
