Acmena smithii 'Firescreen' pbr
This psyllid-free lillypilly makes a perfect screening plant. Glossy mid-green foliage with copper-red new growth which fades to bronze. Features white fluffy flowers and purple Spring berries.
Cultural
Thrives in a full sun to part shade position and prefers a well-drained soil. It is low-maintenance once established, with a high tolerance for pruning, making it easy to shape as needed. Drought-tolerant and adaptable to a range of soil types, it is also resistant to psyllid damage, making it a reliable choice for low-care screening. For best results, feed with a slow-release native fertiliser in spring.
Landscape Uses
Ideal for creating formal or informal hedges, narrow privacy screens, and attractive borders along fences or pathways. Its compact, upright form makes it perfect for tight spaces, courtyards, and garden beds. With year-round colour and low maintenance needs, it adds structure and visual appeal to both residential and commercial landscapes. Perfect for poolside plantings thanks to minimal berries.
