Lilly Pilly 'Resilience' (Syzygium australe 'Resilience')
Hardy. Native. Dense.
A reliable Australian native hedge with dense green foliage and attractive bronze to copper-toned new growth. Lilly Pilly 'Resilience' forms a thick evergreen screen and responds exceptionally well to regular pruning, making it an excellent choice for privacy, boundaries and structured garden hedges.
Selected for its resistance to psyllid damage, 'Resilience' is a particularly dependable Lilly Pilly for residential landscapes and can be maintained as anything from a neat medium hedge to a substantial privacy screen.
BEST FOR
Privacy • Screening • Boundaries • Native gardens • Formal hedges
HEDGE HEIGHT
Best maintained at 1.5–3m
Can grow considerably taller if left unpruned
HEDGE WIDTH
Best maintained at approximately 80cm–1.5m depending on desired height and screening density
SPACING
80–100cm apart for a dense hedge
Closer spacing can provide faster initial coverage
GROWTH RATE
Fast
Approximately 50–100cm per year in favourable conditions
SUN
Full sun to part shade
CLIMATE
Temperate to subtropical
Adaptable to a wide range of Australian conditions
FROST TOLERANCE
Moderate
Established plants tolerate light to moderate frost, although young plants benefit from protection in frost-prone locations
SOIL
Adaptable to most soil types
Best in fertile, well-drained soil with added organic matter
WATER
Moderate
Water regularly while establishing. Once established, it has reasonable tolerance to short dry periods, although regular deep watering will encourage faster, denser growth.
MAINTENANCE
Low to moderate
Trim 2–3 times per year for a neat hedge. More frequent light pruning will encourage dense branching and a tighter, more formal appearance.
EVERGREEN
Yes
BLOOMFIELD TIP
'Resilience' is a great all-round choice when you want a fast-growing native privacy hedge without sacrificing a neat, structured appearance. Tip prune young plants regularly rather than waiting for them to reach their final height. This encourages branching lower down and creates a denser hedge from the ground up.
