This amazing plant truly does it all in my opinion. It's edible,tastes great. It's a wonderful windbreak and creates an awesome habitat for birds. The lovely white flowers will feed the insects and undergrowth will provide habitat for the good insects that predate on the bad ones.
Syzgium Resilience truly does it all as it can be grown as a hedge, a small tree or a shrub.
Best of all for me the edible Berries are to die for!

Loved picking and eating Lilli Pilli’s as a kid when we were walking home from school. A beautiful native to have growing xx Cathi xx
Wow, cool story and fond memories. Thanks for sharing your experience with me, wonderful times I am sure.
There are so many varieties of the Lilly Pilly, from small shrubs to large trees, I grew a line of them as a privacy screen on a side boundary, but it attracted so much insect and bird life it turned into a feature. I later interplanetary it with Gifu berry plants, then some Japanese plums, the bird life was great and the buzz from the bees in the bushes was audible from the house.
Am obsessed with this tree and its yumm fruit.
Always great vedio dear good share
Thanks again Amy
Syzygiums are diverse and they are very widespread through out the tropics.
Yes, there are countless varieties I believe
Nice looking plant Marty complete with its seasonal treat! Happy Gardening! -Bob...
Yes, it's in crazy bloom now, going to be a lot of fruits this season
That sounds like a great plant to have in the garden . 😊
Yes, it sure is Little Bean,,love it
Thank you. I enjoy learning new things.
Hi Voon, me too!
Adding this to my list of beneficial hedging plants! Thanks Marty
Hi Austin, awesome and one of my favourites for sure
They are also fire resistant I have read. Just planted 9 along the back of my place as a hedge. Still small but will look great when grown.
Wow, I didn't know that. I am am sure the birds and bees will love having them around. Are they in flower like mine are now?
No not in flower yet. They are only seedlings still. I planted them out about 3 weeks ago. Also they are not the resilience ones but a different variety of lilly pilly i forgot the name.
G'day mate, love Lilly pilly. The fruit makes great jam.
Awesome review keep up the great work and God bless you guys.
Thanks Joel, I would love to see someone make a video with this fruit as a Jam,,be way cool
@@martysgarden I might give it a go next summer. Thanks, Josh.
hi Marty that's fruits is so yummy . thanks for sharing with us goodjob 🍒. 😀
Yes, I know you love fruit,,I think you would like this one
Thanks Marty... nice to learn a new plant.
Hi Cherrie, that's what the Grow Table segment is about, introducing plants, benefits and how to grow! Love this part of my channel
These grow in America. When I was a kid I saw these growing everywhere never knew what they were. I ate the red berries off of the bush. They were sweet. They grow wildly. And I see the plants in my city all over. You can eat these. I just wonder why you don't see them in supermarkets. But I'm glad to know what they are now. I was leaving work and I saw a bush with these berries so I use my smartphone ,and Google lens app. To identify it. Found out the name and looked it up on the internet. Thank you for explaining with this plant is.
Just make saw it's the same plant as this is an Australian native, and there are other species that look similar. Great to hear you are identifying it first before eating 😀
The lilly pilly in my yard is quickly becoming a pest. I love the lilly pilly, don't know what type, but the seeds keep sprouting underneath, when they drop off the trees.
Awesome bush fruit, and makes great jam.
Hi Peter, some can be a pain. I find this variety super easy to manage as I keep it short.
Haven't got my growing but my neighbour has a number growing along the dividing fence anmd sometimes I get the fruit hanging over. love the flavour . Great viseo
Hi Terry, free fruits,,nice one!
Dude, you just taught me about a Lilly Pilly, who Knew, well you did
Awesome, great plant. Hope you guys are keeping well?
@@martysgarden Thanks brother
You've got me curious about this Marty, I'll look into if it can be grown in my part of northern England. Even if it can't I really enjoyed watching you show us about it!
G'day my friend. There maybe other varieties of Australian Lilly Pilly's similar to this that can handle a cooler climate. Thanks for watching!
Hey I just got I bunch of it, I live in Brazil, São Paulo, at the Atlantic forest area, It is fun to me how fruits from so far away are here!
That's way cool,,congrats
I really enjoy your videos. Well done.
Thanks so much Micky for your feedback, I will do my best to keep the content coming in.
Thanks Marty, love your videos mate.
Thanks Adam, much appreciated😀
Love this fruit, we have been growing one of these Lilly Pilly trees in Costa Rica for a few years now and it just started sprouting fruit this summer.
I started investigating it’s benefits but there’s not a whole lot of info out there and I was curious if the pit can also be ingested safely somehow? The pit in my fruit is also magenta so I would guess it’s also loaded with antioxidants? Anyone?
I so wish I had an answer for that, but I don't sorry. I throw pit. You may find some answers by search information based on Australian native foods. It's a wonderful tree. 😀
Seems many are loving the Grow Table Videos. How about you, do you dig them too?
Super handy video!!
Cool, glad it was helpful 😀
Thankyou so much for your great video. Do the flowers have a strong scent?
Your welcome, not so strong but enough to smell them
Is that the botanical name or a common name?
How long does it take to grow?
Can you grow from seed or is it better as a cutting or sapling?
Sorry for all the questions. Thought this could be an awesome addition to my garden. Love that it's an Australian native, and edible.
The Botanical name, seed or cutting. Cuttings would be faster and you can usually find it in all Aussie nurseries.
@@martysgarden I have three growing and I want more to make for a hedge to shade my tool shed. I am not finding them available at the nursery so I will try and grow some cuttings. Thanks. And since it is only 15 feet or so tall I would not need to prune it.
@@richardmang2558 good luck with the cuttings, maybe even some seeds!
Hey Marty Does Lily Pilli Resilience attract birds?
Thanks Sarah
Yes, very much so Sarah. Thanks so much for the support. Please consider subscribing to my channel and help me reach my goals. goo.gl/TrhWxt it would be super appreciated and help this channel stay alive. 😀
@@martysgarden Thank you for replying Marty. I am already a subscriber and enjoy watching your videos. Could you please consider doing a video on growing capsicums?
@@sarahshepherd5320 thanks for subscribing Sarah, I do have a very old video on that subject on my channel,,maybe helpful for you.
Can you use the leaves in cooking ?
No
My question is - can you eat the leaves ?
You didn’t cover that part!
In your opinion what is the best lily Pilly tree to have in Queensland?
I would speak to the local garden nursery, but for a small garden this one is my pick! 😀
You reckon this will grow in shade mate? Have a couple of dead spots by the fence and shed that i can spare for this one.
It will but may grow lanky
@@martysgarden thanks!!!
I spaced my hinterland gold out 2m apart is this distance not appropriate to create a nice joining hedge?
Should be fine at that distance
@@martysgarden thanks marty
Your outside compost pile slash worm bin what do you have in it to start
No I start that windrow outside to farm worms and make compost. I will do some updates on that soon
@@martysgarden the reason I ask I am starting one up . I got about two tons of wood shaving and about three of manure
Hi Marty can you advise me on a hedge on lilii pilli
Use this one Syzgium Resilience
Do you think it would survive a Canadian winter? Zone 5
No, you would need a greenhouse
Okay thank you
Can you grow from a seed and how
Yes you can just like any other seed, nothing special to do
I planted a hedge of 14 of these plants, I bought them like a metre tall but some of them look unhappy and the brunches are turning brown, what do I do to save them?
It's hard to say without seeing them on site Heidy,,drop in at your local nursery and have a chat with them.
How high are they in vitamin c compared to orange
Not sure sorry
the fruit of lily pilly, is it related to the wax apple? Taste very similar, like a more stringent version of wax apple.
Not sure, sorry
Is variety completely psyllid free? If it does get psyllids how bad when compared to non resilient versions. Im in South Australia. Thank you
Not sure sorry
serious question - where did you get your hat! I want one...
Hi Tim, that hat has a long story. If I remember I will mention it in a vlog!
Hi stumbled across you channel by accident. What type of Lilli Pilli did you say it was?
It's in the Title😀
Can you eat the leaves ? From the lily pile hedges ?
Just the fruits
martysgarden. Thank you
Can i buy form you please?
I don't sell plants at the moment sorry Cat
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
@@martysgarden We ended up planting a row of these out the front. So far, so good
@@pas0003 wonderful, great tree..mine is getting taller and will need a prune soon
I'm having problems with my Lilly pilly resilience. I've had an infestation of green bugs and they have absolutely munched their way through them, but especially one of them. I think I might have them under control (sprayed and squished how ever many I can find) but how do I help the plant get back to normal?
If it's really bad a good prune,,bin the material and let it grow back..it like a prune and by doing this you take away the bugs food source.
Thank you! Was worried whether I good prune in summer. Fingers crossed I'll get rid of the buggers!
In Florida just found out one of the topiary that hasn't been taken care of by the previous owner is one of these... the fruit are amazing
she's about 15feet tall and gathered about 1.75lb of fruit... looking to make a juice or jam for christmas...
Very cool Peter,,sounds yummy😀
