Syzygium Hinterland Gold (Hinterland Gold Lilly Pilly)
The Syzygium Hinterland Gold, commonly known as Hinterland Gold Lilly Pilly, is a hardy, evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, golden-green foliage and dense growth habit. New growth appears in vibrant bronze tones, adding seasonal colour and interest. During spring and summer, it produces small white flowers that are followed by edible, glossy berries. These berries are mildly tangy and can be eaten fresh or used to make jams, jellies, and sauces, adding a culinary benefit to its ornamental appeal.
This versatile Australian native thrives in full sun to partial shade and is well-suited for hedging, screening, or as a feature plant. Low-maintenance and fast-growing, the Hinterland Gold Lilly Pilly is also resistant to pests and diseases, making it a perfect choice for gardens and landscapes.
