Lilly Pilly trees are renowned for their dense, glossy foliage, which is made up of tiny, elliptical leaves that are usually dark green, however certain cultivars may have variegated or bronze-colored foliage. In the summer, they also sprout tiny, unnoticeable blooms, which are followed by meaty, berry-like fruits that are typically pink, red, or purple and are tasty, drawing birds and other animals to the plant.
Depending on the cultivar, Lilly Pilly trees can range in size from small shrubs to medium-sized trees. They develop between moderately and quickly.
