Commonly Asked Questions
How far apart should I plant Syzygium Australe for a screening hedge? Around 1 meter apart for a screening hedge is ideal. Regular pruning and maintenance will also help shape the hedge and maintain its density as it matures.
How fast do Syzygium Australe grow? This native lilly pilly grows steadily under good conditions like plenty of sunlight, well-draining soil, and regular watering. On average, it can grow 30cm to 1m per year, especially in its active growing seasons. Growth rates can vary with climate, soil, water, and pruning. Young plants often grow quicker as they settle in, then steady out once established. To keep your Lilly Pilly looking lush and healthy, give it regular water, the occasional feed, and a tidy-up when needed.
When is the best time to prune? Prune your Syzygium australe in late spring or early summer, after the main flush of new growth. Light trims throughout the growing season will help keep it neat and encourage dense, healthy foliage.
