Looking for a fast-growing, evergreen solution to create privacy and lush green boundaries in your New Zealand garden? A syzygium hedge is the perfect answer. Beloved for its dense foliage, vibrant new growth, and resilience, syzygium (also known as Lilly Pilly) makes for an outstanding living screen. Whether you have a small urban backyard or a sprawling rural property, a syzygium hedge delivers year-round beauty, acts as a windbreak, and even attracts native birds with its creamy white flowers and colourful berries.

Ligustrum japonicum Rotundifolium, commonly known as Japanese Privet, grows as a small, compact, rounded bush and carries glossy, dark green leaves which have a unique curl. Clusters of cream-coloured flowers are borne in summer and are a lovely feature as it grows to 1.5 m tall and 1 m wide. Ligustrum Rotundifolium is often clipped into hedge, added to a mixed planting, maintained in a container, or used to provide architectural interest.

Syzygium australe Resilience, commonly known as Lilly Pilly or Brush Cherry, is a very popular hedging shrub. New foliage is a stunning, red-bronze colour and ages to become dark green which gives the plant dual colouring during active growth periods. Left untrimmed this will grow to 6 m tall and 3 m wide, though is often trimmed to much smaller sizes. Syzygium Resilience is commonly used for hedging and screening, planted as a backdrop for smaller plants, grown as specimen, included in a mixed planting, planted around outdoor living areas, or maintained in a container. It is a modern plant favoured by landscape designers due to its fantastic aesthetics and versatility.
