Syzygium australe Narrowleaf This plant was found in our nursery and an eagle eyed staff member put it aside. This is a very fast growing columnar lillipilly that is an excellent choice for screening in narrow spaces. It will grow to 8 meters but can be pruned to any height. We use it exclusively in our topiary work. Hardy and pest free it is smothered in white flower in spring and summer. |

This is one of the best hedging lillipillies available, it is known by many names, "Aussie Compact", "Magenta Cherry", "Select" are a few. This lillipilly grows naturally dense and in reasonable soil will grow to 5 meters. It is one of "Psyllid free" lillipillies and will grow in sun or light shade. Unfortunately not all varieties sold as Elite are Elite. Elite is naturally dense with slightly weeping side branches, the new growth doesn't have copper tones appearing light green against the older foliage. |

Syzygium Bush Christmas A fine leafed lillipilly that has crimson new growth especially in cool weather. An excellent choice for a small hedge though it will grow slowly to 3-4 meters depending on conditions. |

Syzygium Cherry Surprise A selected form of Syzygium smithii. It is a very dense fine leafed lillipilly that is distinguished by bright red new foliage that covers the bush. light pruning encourages masses o new growth. It seems to be much smaller than most lillipillies and will probably mature at 2-3 meters. It is not effected by psyllid and seems relatively pest free. |

Syzygium Straight and Narrow Tm Syzygium Straight and Narrow Tm is an improvement on the very similar Syzygium Pinnacle Tm PBR it's is a naturally narrow growing australe lillipilly. This makes it an excellent choice for screen in narrow spaces. With very minimal pruning it can be kept a a tidy narrow hedge. Unlike some lillipillies this one is psyllid free.

Syzygium Resilience Closely resembling Aussie southern, Resilience is a fast growing screening lillipilly to 4-5m. With light pruning it can be maintained at 2-4m forming an impenetrable hedge. One of the features of this variety is it's resistance to Psyllid |

Waterhousea floribunda Select Form This is a very fast growing lillipilly tree with lightly weeping foliage. The new growth is a pale green slowly changing to deep green on the older foliage. Floribunda is an excellent tree for screening in larger areas as it can maintain foliage low to the ground if unprimed. The photo on the right shows the first batch of our Waterhousea floribunda select. We have been looking for better forms of the tree for years and have finally settled on this form due to it's excellent form and growth habit. all of the trees grown by ASPLEY NURSERY in the future will be cutting grown from this form giving the landscaper and designer a guaranteed result and even performance. It's general habit is a medium tree to 10m though this is effected by availability of water and soil type. It grows as a native to South East Queensland. |
