Acmena smithii 'Firescreen' pbr

Common Name:
Lilly Pilly 'Firescreen'

Description:
Acmena smithii 'Firescreen' is a fast-growing, dense evergreen shrub ideal for hedging and screening. It features striking new foliage in shades of fiery orange and red, maturing to deep green, creating year-round colour contrast. In summer, small white fluffy flowers appear, followed by decorative edible berries that attract birds. This hardy variety is highly resistant to psyllid attack, making it a superior choice over other Lilly Pilly varieties. 'Firescreen' thrives in full sun to part shade and adapts well to a variety of soils, showing excellent drought and frost tolerance once established. Its compact growth habit and minimal maintenance needs make it an excellent option for privacy hedging, windbreaks, or formal gardens.
