Syzygium australe Superior is a compact, fast-growing lilly pilly with neat, small leaves that start out coppery and turn a rich green as they mature. It naturally grows into a slender, conical shape if left untrimmed. In summer, you’ll see fluffy white flowers followed by pretty pink berries that birds love — and they’re edible too! Superior is perfect for hedges, screens, shaping, or even growing in a pot. Tip prune when young to help it fill out nicely, and give it a light trim a couple of times a year once it’s established. This variety is psyllid resistant, so no bumpy leaves to worry about. A great choice if you love ‘Resilience’, but want something a little different.
