Why Customers Choose Lilly Pilly 'Straight & Narrow'

Most screening plants demand significant width to achieve height. 'Straight & Narrow' breaks that rule entirely. Homeowners with narrow side yards, tight boundaries, or limited garden beds choose this variety because it solves the privacy problem without consuming valuable outdoor space.

Basic Care Guide

  • Watering: Deep watering 2–3 times per week for the first 6–8 weeks. Drought tolerant once established.
  • Fertilising: Slow-release native fertiliser in spring and autumn.
  • Pruning: Minimal pruning required. Light tip pruning maintains density.
  • Mulching: 75mm of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture.

Typically 500mm to 1 metre wide at maturity — making it one of the narrowest screening plants available for its height.
