Broad-leaved Lilly Pilly - Acmena hemilampra
Where the small-leaved lilly pillies give a fine hedged surface, this one gives scale. Acmena hemilampra carries large, thick, high-gloss leaves that reflect light almost like a magnolia, on a rainforest tree that grows fast into a solid evergreen wall or a shapely canopy tree. It is a true acmena, so it is untroubled by the psyllid that disfigures many syzygium hedges, and the combination of speed, leaf size and pest resistance makes it a first choice for tall boundary screens on the east coast.
Why Broad-leaved Lilly Pilly
Leaf Scale: Large glossy leaves give a bold, tropical-looking screen rather than a fine hedged texture.
Fast Cover: Quick vertical growth means a usable screen in a few seasons rather than a decade.
Psyllid Free: Unaffected by the lilly pilly psyllid, so the foliage stays smooth and unblemished.
Coppery Flush: New growth emerges bronze to pink before hardening to deep glossy green.
White Fruit: Fluffy cream flowers are followed by white to pale pink globular fruit that birds take readily.
Ideal Applications
Tall Boundary Screen: Planted in a row it blocks a two-storey overlook faster than most evergreen alternatives.
Rainforest Canopy Layer: Used as an upper storey in subtropical garden plantings over gingers and palms.
Shade Tree: Left unpruned it makes a well-proportioned domed evergreen shade tree for a suburban block.
Large Site Windbreak: Dense enough to break coastal wind while adding habitat and fruit for birds.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2.5m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 4 to 6m
Best Planting Season: Spring to autumn in subtropical and warm temperate districts
Soil & Drainage: Deep, moisture-retentive, free-draining soil enriched with organic matter, slightly acidic and never allowed to dry out completely
Establishment Care: Water deeply twice a week through the first two summers, as this is a rainforest species that resents drying out at the root ball. Mulch to 75mm across the full planting run, feed in spring and autumn, and prune the leaders once to encourage lower branching if a dense screen is the goal.
