Searching for the ideal lilli pilli plant for your New Zealand garden? You’re not alone—lilli pilli have become a staple for hedging, privacy screens, and ornamental landscaping. Renowned for their lush evergreen foliage and colourful berries, these tough Australian natives adapt beautifully to our climate. Whether you want to create a fast-growing hedge, attract native birds, or simply enjoy their glossy leaves, the lilli pilli plant is a fantastic choice.

Eugenia uniflora, commonly known as the Surinam or Brazilian Cherry, is a small tree that features new foliage which emerges a bronze colour and ages to become dark green. The somewhat dense foliage is adorned with star-shaped, red fruits during summer. It typically grows to 6 m tall and 3.5 m wide, but can be trimmed as necessary. Eugenia uniflora is commonly used for hedging and screening, planted as a backdrop for smaller plants, grown as a specimen, added to a mixed planting, or maintained in a container.
