Common Name: Lilly Pilly 'Fire Screen'
Description: Lilly Pilly ‘Fire Screen’ is an evergreen, compact, fast growing, attractive Australian native shrub or small tree, which can also be grown in large containers or clipped into topiary shapes. It has a slightly broader leaf than straight Acmena smithii. This Lilly Pilly has a dense growth habit : new growth flushes copper- red, before turning to lime green then finally changing into dark, glassy green. Fire Screen is a good easy care plant but also regular trimming will produce new growth and for better results fertilise with a slow release fertiliser in Spring. Prefers rich moist soils but will tolerate semi dry conditions once established.
Mature Size: 2 - 4m (h) x 1 - 2m (w)
