Syzygium Backyard Bliss is highly susceptible to the Lilly Pilly Green Beetle. This Beatle is highly effective at stripping the leaves and foliage. We recommend the following varieties which are resistant to both Lilly Pilly Beetle and Psyllids: Acmena smithii Sublime, Acmena smithii 'minor' varieties, Acmena smithii Firescreen and Acmena smithii Green Screen. | Pittosporum tenuifolium
Pittosporum Golf Ball is a low dense hedge you can trim as a topiary. It can be described as "the plant that trims itself", as it keeps its compact rounded shape and doesn't get too big.
Golf Ball pittosporums feature bright mint-green glossy leaves with small, inconspicuous chocolate-purple flowers. Prefers a full sun to part shade position. | |
