Lilly Pilly

Height | 5 - 15 metres

Syzygium smithii, commonly known as Lilly Pilly, is a versatile Australian native tree admired for its dense foliage, attractive new growth, and adaptability across a wide range of landscape settings. Native to the eastern coast of Australia, this evergreen species is widely used in residential, commercial, and public landscapes for screening, avenue planting, and feature tree applications. The tree produces glossy green leaves complemented by flushes of vibrant pink to bronze new growth, creating seasonal colour and visual interest throughout the year. During flowering periods, clusters of soft white flowers emerge among the foliage, followed by small purple berries that attract birds and contribute to the plant’s ecological value. Its naturally dense canopy and refined form make it particularly suited to contemporary Australian planting schemes and urban environments. Syzygium smithii typically grows to around 5–15 metres in height, depending on pruning, cultivar selection, and site conditions. With its lush appearance, resilience, and distinctly Australian character, Lilly Pilly introduces texture, structure, and year-round greenery to landscape and architectural drawings
