Syzygium australe Standards – Perfect for Hedging, Screening & Feature Planting

Syzygium australe Standards, commonly known as Lilly Pilly Standards, are a stunning choice for formal gardens, topiary, and low-maintenance hedging. These evergreen Australian natives are carefully trained into a single upright trunk with a compact, rounded canopy, making them ideal for adding structure and elegance to any outdoor space.

Lush Green Foliage with Seasonal Flushes of Colour

The glossy, deep-green foliage is accented by bronze-red new growth, adding a seasonal pop of colour. During spring and summer, it produces fluffy white flowers, followed by edible, pink to red berries, which attract birds and pollinators.

Hardy, Fast-Growing & Perfect for Sydney Gardens

These standards thrive in full sun to part shade and adapt well to a variety of soil types. Drought-tolerant once established and naturally resistant to pests and diseases, they are a fantastic choice for Sydney’s climate. Ideal for entrances, pathways, courtyards, and pots, Syzygium australe Standards bring an architectural touch to any setting.
