Typical Lilly Pilly Performance in Melbourne:
Lilly pillies are fast-growing native hedges that establish quickly in Melbourne conditions. With regular pruning they become dense and compact, and once mature they mainly thicken rather than grow much taller, making them easy to maintain as a long-term privacy screen.
