Acmena Smithii ‘Forest Flame’ (Forest Flame Lilly Pilly) is an attractive evergreen shrub or small tree valued for its colourful new growth, dense foliage, and excellent screening ability. Its standout feature is the flush of vibrant red to bronze new leaves, which mature to glossy green, creating year-round visual interest in the garden. With its naturally bushy habit, it works beautifully as a hedge, privacy screen, feature plant, or informal garden border.

A practical and ornamental choice for Australian landscapes, Forest Flame Lilly Pilly is ideal for customers wanting a hardy, low-maintenance plant that delivers both beauty and function. It responds well to pruning, making it easy to shape into a neat hedge or compact screen, while its lush foliage helps soften fences, boundaries, and outdoor spaces. This variety is a great option for adding colour, structure, and reliable greenery to residential and commercial gardens.
