Waterhousea floribunda (Weeping Lilly Pilly)

Waterhousea floribunda (Weeping Lilly Pilly) is a graceful Australian native tree celebrated for its elegant weeping habit and lush, dense foliage. This evergreen tree features glossy, dark green leaves that create a beautiful cascading effect, making it an excellent choice for shading, screening, or as a feature specimen in gardens and parks. In summer, it produces fluffy clusters of creamy-white flowers that are followed by small, greenish berries, attracting a variety of birdlife. Its naturally weeping form requires minimal pruning to maintain its attractive shape.

Ideal for creating natural screens, planting near water features, or as a shade tree in medium to large gardens, the Weeping Lilly Pilly thrives in moist, well-drained soils and full sun to partial shade. It is relatively fast-growing and adapts well to a range of conditions, including coastal areas. This tree is valued for its ornamental appeal, wildlife benefits, and ability to provide privacy and shelter.
