Waterhousea floribunda

Waterhousea floribunda Details

Waterhousea floribunda (aka Syzygium floribundum), commonly known as Weeping LillyPilly, is a tree grown for its foliage, form, and flowering. It produces lush, dark green which is held in a pendulous manner. Large clusters of fragrant, white flowers are borne from spring through summer and are followed by green berries that have a red-pink tinge. It typically grows with a rounded crown to about 15 m tall and 10 m wide but can be trimmed as necessary. Best results are achieved when it is grown in full sun on a well-drained, sheltered site. It is tolerant of frost, dry periods, and heavy soils. Weeping LillyPilly is commonly grown as a specimen, trimmed into a hedge, used for screening, or included in a mixed planting in a large garden.
