---|---|---|---|
Description | This Lilly Pilly is a better form than the narrow growing 'Pinnacle' due to its dense foliage and naturally columnar form. Foliage is a mid-green colour and fruits are reddish-pink. As the name suggests it is a great selection for narrow spaces. | ||

Uses | This is a narrow, compact Lilly Pilly suitable for hedging or screening in tight planting spaces. Would also be ideal along tight driveways and along fences if you require a little height. This variety could easily be used as an Australian native alterative to the Italian pencil pines. The berries can be used for jams, and infusing gin etc, but are recommended to be eaten raw. | ||
Position & Soil | Prefers full sun to part shade. This variety is tolerant of cold and dry periods once established. Only occasional pruning is required to maintain a neat shape and dense coverage. | ||
