Description

Acmena smithii Allyn Magic is a compact evergreen Australian native shrub selected for its dense growth and glossy foliage. Often referred to as Dwarf Lilly Pilly, this variety forms a neat rounded shape, making it ideal for low hedging in Melbourne gardens. Fresh new growth emerges in striking orange-bronze tones before maturing to deep green, providing consistent foliage interest throughout the year.
