Lilli Pilli hedge
Hi Ashley,
I've just bought a Resilience Lilly Pilly. I only got it last week, so it's still small. I was asking after a plant which would form a dense hedge, which could cope with very hot weather and strong winds. Here's what the label says: A beautiful selection of Syzgium Aussie Southern which has proved to have resilience to many pests and diseases which can effect lillypillies. Red young growth gives Resilience all year round colour which is enhanced in spring by white flowers and red berries. The flowers and berries will also attract birds to your garden. Resilience is ideal for a screen or hedge, or as a plant to enjoy in the garden, whether in a pot or in the ground. It responds well to pruning. Resilience thrives in a wide range of soils and conditions but will perform best in moist, well drained soil in sun to part shade. Native. I bought mine from Swanes Nurseries. Sorry that I can't recommend something from experince of growing one, but maybe this will be of use to you anyway :-) Cynthia. |

THe cultivars seem to vary quite a bit in height. The only one I have experience of is Lillyput, and that would be fine for a 2-3m hedge. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.

Lilli Pilli hedge
Hey Ashley,
I just ran across this today: "The Waterhousia floribunda 'Weeping Lily Pilly' has very attractive shiny lime-green leaves which have bright-pink new growth. Left alone as a single specimen they can reach a height of approx 4-5 metres, however they can be kept trimmed at any height. Weeping Lilly Pilly's make a great hedge, screen, specimen plant and also look great in large pots. Trim lightly each year and fertilise with native Osmocote each spring and autumn." Cynthia |

Lilli Pilli hedge
We bought some last year - their brand name was "Express" some are now about
2m tall and very dense - unfortunately a bit variable in growth rate, but supposed to be 3-4 m. Geoff "Cynthia" wrote in message ...
