'Resilience' is the psyllid-resistant lilly pilly, selected to keep its leaves smooth and glossy where older varieties pit and blister. Red–bronze new flushes mature to deep green, fluffy white flowers arrive in spring–summer with a soft sweet scent, and once established it shrugs off Adelaide heat, wind and coastal exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.5–2.5 m H × 0.6–1.0 m W as a maintained cone (easily kept smaller)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth Rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40-60 cm per year under good conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glossy mid\/deep-green leaves; naturally tight internodes for crisp outlines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small, fluffy white sprays mainly spring–summer; pink–red berries may follow if not clipped after flowering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeasonal Interest:\u003c\/strong\u003e Evergreen structure with repeating colourful flushes; warm-season bloom and occasional berries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nectar for bees\/beneficials; berries may feed birds; dense cover for small birds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTolerance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Drought-tolerant once established; heat, wind \u0026amp; coastal tolerant; light frost hardy; strong psyllid resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlanting Density:\u003c\/strong\u003e Matched pair either side of an entry: 1.5–2 m apart • Formal row: space 0.8–1.2 m (tight line 0.6–0.8 m) • Pots: one per 50 cm container\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet Friendly:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes — generally non-toxic; ripe berries are edible (moderation advised)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere It Works Best\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Full sun to part shade (more sun = tighter cone \u0026amp; stronger colour)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e Well-drained loam, sandy loam or improved clay; avoid chronic waterlogging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater Needs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Establishment: 2 deep soaks\/week for 8–12 weeks.
