Lilly Pillies
These pages will look at the genus Syzygium and similar or related genera including Acmena, Austromyrtus, Eugenia, and Waterhousea.
This is an enormous subject, as lillypillies become increasingly popular for hedging, topiary and feature shrubs and trees, and as the number of selections, cultivars, brand names and even hybrids proliferate in the marketplace, ranging from rainforest trees to relatively dwarf shrubs. Information and links will be added as they come to hand.
Psyllids These disfiguring leaf pests unfortunately affect many commonly grown Lillypillies. Some species and cultivars are said to be more resistant than others. Providng good growing conditions may help, but in these days of low maintenance and low-water-use gardens, it makes sense to select resistant species or culivars if the option is available.
