Acmena smithii ‘Firescreen’ (Firescreen Lilly Pilly) is a fast-growing, evergreen shrub renowned for its dense foliage and vibrant colour. Its new growth emerges in fiery shades of red and orange before maturing to deep green. In spring and summer, clusters of small white flowers appear, followed by edible purple berries that attract birds.
Ideal for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant, Firescreen Lilly Pilly is highly resistant to psyllids and thrives in various conditions. It is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and responds well to regular pruning, making it a perfect choice for Australian gardens.
