Overview & Specifications
Broad Leaved Lilly Pilly, Syzygium hemilamprum (syn. Acmena hemilampra)
One of the most structurally impressive of the Lilly Pillies, Syzygium hemilamprum delivers bold, glossy foliage and a commanding canopy presence that reads powerfully in large-scale landscapes. Available as advanced stock, these specimens arrive ready to anchor a design, no establishment wait, no compromise on scale.
Why Broad Leaved Lilly Pilly
Foliage: Broad, deep-green leaves with a high-gloss finish, dense, refined, and visually striking year-round.

Resilience: Tolerates a range of soil conditions and coastal exposure; well-adapted to the Australian east coast climate.
Privacy and Screening: Dense canopy structure provides effective visual screening without sacrificing aesthetic quality.
Ideal Applications
Prestige Residential: Statement tree for entry drives, pool surrounds, and formal lawn settings on high-value properties.
Commercial Landscapes: Suited to corporate campuses, hospitality venues, and mixed-use developments requiring mature tree canopy from day one.
Screening Rows: Planted in structured lines to create dense, fast-establishing green boundaries along boundaries and corridors.
Streetscape and Civic: A proven performer in urban tree pits and median plantings where canopy cover is a design requirement.
