Lilly Pilly / Large Sized Trees

The Dapple Designs Expert Says:

Acmena smithii is an old Australian favourite that has been used in Australia as a single tree or as a hedge since the early 1900s, mainly because of its adaptability. A. smithii will have fragrant white flowers in late spring, and these flowers are followed by purple to pink fruits. These fruits will normally fall in late autumn if not eaten by birds. If left to grow without pruning, A. smithii will grow to be an upright-oval tree, maintaining its lower branches. When hedged, Lilly Pilly will be a dense hedge or screen that can be maintained to 4m tall.
