Acmena smithii 'Green Screen'

Common Name:
Lilly Pilly 'Green Screen'

Description:
Acmena smithii 'Green Screen' is a fast-growing, dense evergreen shrub perfect for creating lush, vibrant hedges and privacy screens. This psyllid-resistant variety features glossy green foliage year-round, with new growth emerging in soft lime-green tones. In summer, it produces small, fluffy white flowers, followed by ornamental purple berries that attract birds. Highly adaptable, 'Green Screen' thrives in full sun to part shade and suits a variety of soil types. It is drought and frost tolerant once established, making it an excellent low-maintenance choice for Melbourne gardens. Its compact and upright habit makes it ideal for hedging, topiary, or formal planting.
