The lilli pilli tree is a favourite among New Zealand gardeners seeking a hardy, evergreen plant with year-round appeal. Beloved for its lush foliage, colourful berries, and versatility in landscaping, the lilli pilli tree adds both beauty and structure to any garden or outdoor space. With so many varieties to choose from, including dense hedge forms and striking specimen trees, it’s no wonder the lilli pilli tree is gaining popularity across the country.

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.
