Acmena smithii minor Allyn Magic

Common Name: Allyn Magic Lilly Pilly

Description: Acmena smithii 'Allyn Magic' is a compact, evergreen Australian native shrub known for its vibrant foliage and dense, mounding habit. New growth emerges in bright orange-red hues, maturing to glossy dark green, providing year-round visual interest. In spring, it produces small white fluffy flowers, which are occasionally followed by fleshy pink berries that are edible and attract birds. This psyllid-resistant variety is ideal for low hedging, borders, rockeries, and container planting. It thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils. Once established, 'Allyn Magic' is hardy, tolerating light frost and a range of soil types. Light pruning after flowering helps maintain its compact form.
