Lilly Pilly - Acmena smithii hedge

This variety can grow into a sizable tree, but has been grown successfully for many years as a tall hedge from 1.5m up to 5m. It is an Australian native subtropical plant, but will grow in more temperate climates also. Used extensively in Sydney and NSW. Normally fast growing. One advantage of this plant as a hedging plant is it does not seem to get the Lilly Pilly Psyllid insect which attacks some Lilly Pilly plants. Many new improved varieties becoming available.  Many of the new varieties are smaller and based around the dwarf variety of Acmena smithii called Acmena smithii minor.
