Lilly Pilly Straight and Narrow™ 200MM

Syzygium australe 'Straight and Narrow™'

I am Lilly Pilly Straight and Narrow™. My family originated from Eastern Australia.

Habit Shrub - Tall and Narrow
Plant family Myrtaceae
I am a very slender upright and dense Australian native shrub to small tree perfectly suited to “Straight and Narrow” hedging and screening in the garden. My tight, attractive leaves and white flowers are followed by edible pink/red fruit. I am a great attractor of wildlife including birds and insects for which I am an important food source and provide habitat.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
Naturally very slender and trim I am a great choice for screening hedges particularly for tight planting areas
Ideal for native and coastal gardens my small fluffy white blooms in spring attract bees and beneficial insects
My flowers are followed by red berries attracting birds and other wildlife for which I provide food and habitat
