Acmena smithii ‘Minor’, commonly known as Dwarf Lilly Pilly, is a compact evergreen Australian native shrub valued for its dense growth habit and reliable screening performance. Its glossy dark green foliage is complemented by attractive bronze to reddish new growth, giving the plant year-round colour variation and strong ornamental appeal.
In summer, it produces clusters of soft white, fluffy flowers followed by vibrant edible berries in shades of magenta to purple, which are highly attractive to birds. Naturally bushy and easily shaped, this variety is widely used for hedging, topiary, and privacy screening in both residential and commercial landscapes.
