Syzygium australe 'Up and Away' pbr

Common Name:
Lilly Pilly 'Up and Away'

Description:
Syzygium australe 'Up and Away' is a fast-growing, columnar evergreen shrub perfect for creating narrow hedges and privacy screens. With its upright habit, it is ideal for tight spaces where a dense, vertical growth is required. The glossy green foliage is complemented by vibrant coppery-red new growth, adding seasonal interest. In summer, small fluffy white flowers appear, followed by edible purple berries that attract birds. This variety is highly resistant to psyllid damage and thrives in full sun to part shade, adapting well to a range of soil conditions. Once established, it is drought and frost tolerant, requiring minimal maintenance beyond occasional pruning to maintain its slender form.
