Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Francis's Lilly Pilly, Syzygium francisii
One of Australia's most capable native screening trees, Syzygium francisii delivers scale, density, and year-round visual interest at a pace few species can match. Advanced specimens establish immediately as a bold presence, whether as a canopy feature or a substantial privacy structure.
Why Francis's Lilly Pilly
Growth Rate: Vigorous, reaching up to 1m per year under good conditions, accelerating establishment timelines significantly.
Striking New Growth: Vivid pink to bronze juvenile foliage provides continuous seasonal colour against the mature deep green canopy.
Psyllid Resistance: Notably more resistant to psyllid damage than many Lilly Pilly varieties, reducing long-term maintenance requirements.
Site Adaptability: Tolerates coastal exposure, urban heat, wind, and atmospheric pollution, well suited to demanding project conditions.
Ecological Value: Nectar-rich flowers and deep purple berries support native bird and pollinator populations, a consideration on prestige and ecological projects alike.
Ideal Applications
High Screening & Acoustic Barriers: Forms a dense, tall structure capable of providing genuine privacy and noise attenuation on residential and commercial properties.
Canopy Feature Planting: Specimen-placed advanced stock creates immediate focal points in formal and contemporary landscapes.
Streetscape & Civic Planting: Proven performance in high-exposure urban environments, including road corridors and public realm projects.
Large-Format Containers: Suited to oversized planters for rooftop terraces, podium landscapes, and curated courtyard settings.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 10–20m
Planting Season: Spring to early summer
Soil & Drainage: Moist, well-drained, fertile soil; tolerates a range of soil types including clay and loam; prefers consistent moisture
