Syzygium australe Narrowleaf This plant was found in our nursery and an eagle eyed staff member put it aside. This is a very fast growing columnar lillipilly that is an excellent choice for screening in narrow spaces. It will grow to 8 meters but can be pruned to any height.

This is one of the best hedging lillipillies available, it is known by many names, "Aussie Compact", "Magenta Cherry", "Select" are a few. This lillipilly grows naturally dense and in reasonable soil will grow to 5 meters. It is one of "Psyllid free" lillipillies and will grow in sun or light shade. Unfortunately not all varieties sold as Elite are Elite. Elite is naturally dense with slightly weeping side branches, the new growth doesn't have copper tones appearing light green against the older foliage. |

Waterhousea floribunda This is a very fast growing lillipilly tree with lightly weeping foliage. The new growth is a pale green slowly changing to deep green on the older foliage. Floribunda is an excellent tree for screening in larger areas as it can maintain foliage low to the ground if unpruned. It's general habit is a medium tree to 10m though this is effected by availability of water and soil type. It grows as a native to South East Queensland |
