Hedge Planting Guide
Recommended Hedge Spacing
Plant approximately 350mm to 900mm apart for hedging, depending on desired fullness.
Height at Maturity
Can grow to approximately 5 metres tall, however it can easily be maintained at any height through regular pruning.
Environmental Requirements
Soil
Performs best in deep, well-drained loamy soil. Avoid poorly drained areas.
Climate
Suitable for a wide range of Australian climates.
Durability
Selected for excellent psyllid resistance.
Care Tips
For best results, apply a quality slow-release fertiliser in spring — preferably one designed to feed for up to 12 months.
Regular trimming encourages dense new growth and helps create a thicker, fuller hedge.
Important Pruning Advice
For best results, major trimming and shaping should only be carried out during Spring and Summer while the plant is actively growing.
Avoid heavy pruning during colder months, as growth naturally slows and recovery can take longer.
Remember: the more regularly you shape and prune your hedge during the warmer growing season, the fuller and more rewarding it becomes.
Design Benefits
• Excellent upright growth for confined spaces
• Ideal as a narrow privacy hedge
• Great for tall screening in tight areas
• Performs beautifully in large pots and containers

Tired of Lilly Pilly leaves covered in pimples and psyllid damage?
FireScreen has been specifically selected for outstanding psyllid resistance.
We do not grow or sell Lilly Pilly varieties that are prone to psyllid damage — only premium quality, proven performers suited to Australian conditions.
