Weeping Lilly Pilly trees produce fluffy white powder-puff flowers in summer, followed by small green-to-pink decorative berries. They respond exceptionally well to pruning, keeping a dense, tidy shape all year round. Regular watering during Perth’s hot summer months keeps the foliage soft, lush, and vibrant.

Interesting Notes:

The weeping branches create a great windbreak and visual screen, softening hard fences and urban walls. While the fruit is technically edible, it is mostly enjoyed by local birds and pollinators, making it fantastic for garden biodiversity.

A popular choice for native landscape designs and anyone wanting quick, elegant screening.
