Syzygium australe ‘Resilience’ is a premium, Australian-bred Lilly Pilly cultivar prized for its strong resistance to psyllid, reliable growth habit, and dense evergreen foliage. It is one of the most dependable choices for hedging, screening, and privacy planting in Australian gardens.

Developed specifically to address common Lilly Pilly issues, ‘Resilience’ delivers lush green growth without the leaf pitting and distortion often caused by psyllid. Its upright, compact form makes it ideal for both residential and commercial landscapes.

Key Features

  • Psyllid resistant – bred for improved leaf health
  • Fast growing – excellent for quick privacy and screening
  • Evergreen foliage – year-round coverage
  • Dense growth habit – ideal for formal or informal hedges
  • Australian native – well suited to local conditions

Size & Growth Habit

Syzygium ‘Resilience’ typically grows to a height of 4–6 metres if left unpruned, with a natural width of 2–3 metres. It responds extremely well to pruning and can be easily maintained at lower hedge heights.

Its upright, compact structure makes it particularly suitable for narrow garden beds, boundary planting, and modern landscapes.

Ideal Uses

  • Hedging and privacy screens
  • Boundary planting
  • Side passages and narrow garden spaces
  • Commercial and strata landscapes
  • Feature or mass planting

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun to part shade
  • Soil: Well-drained soil enriched with organic matter
  • Water: Moderate; regular watering during establishment
  • Frost: Tolerates light frost once established

Maintenance & Care

‘Resilience’ is a low-maintenance Lilly Pilly once established. Regular pruning encourages denser growth and a clean hedge line. Mulching and seasonal feeding will promote healthy foliage and faster establishment.

Thanks to its improved resistance, chemical intervention for psyllid is rarely required, making it an excellent choice for low-maintenance and environmentally conscious gardens.

Planting Guide

For hedging, space plants approximately 80cm to 1m apart depending on pot size and desired hedge density. Closer spacing results in faster screen formation.
