Why Customers Choose Lilly Pilly 'Resilience'

Homeowners across SEQ choose 'Resilience' because it solves the two biggest problems with traditional Lilly Pilly hedges — psyllid damage and slow establishment. With an advanced specimen from Brisbane Tree Farm, you get a head start of several years of growth, meaning privacy is achieved in months rather than years.

Basic Care Guide

• Watering: Water deeply 2–3 times per week for the first 6–8 weeks after planting. Once established, drought tolerant.
• Fertilising: Apply a slow-release native fertiliser in spring and autumn.
• Pruning: Light tip pruning after each flush of new growth maintains a dense, compact form.
• Mulching: Apply 75mm of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Frequently Asked Questions

How fast will it grow?
Under good conditions in SEQ, expect 300–500mm of growth per year. Advanced specimens in larger bag sizes will establish and screen faster.

How far apart should I plant them for a hedge?
For a dense hedge, plant 600–800mm apart. For a faster screen, plant 500mm apart.

Is it truly psyllid resistant?
Yes. 'Resilience' is one of the most psyllid-resistant Lilly Pilly varieties available. While no plant is 100% immune, this variety shows significantly less damage than standard Lilly Pilly species.

Can I keep it as a small hedge?
Absolutely. 'Resilience' responds very well to pruning and can be maintained at any height from 1 metre upwards.
