Bush Christmas - Acmena. var
Bush Christmas is one of the newer Lilly Pilly varieties now available as a hedging plant. It has been around for a few years now and is one of the better varities available. It can grow into a shrub to 3m, but makes a great hedge from 40cm up to 2m+. Can be a bit slow growing to create a tall hedge, but for lower hedges is excellent. The new foliage in winter and spring/early summer, is a rich red colour. Best to grow in full sun but will take some shade. Lilly Pilly Psyllid can effect them but this is rare. Organically rich, well drained soil is best. NSW, QLD, VIC, SA, WA.
