This fantastic Lilly Pilly has small, glossy, lance shaped leaves which are pink/red when young
It responds well to clipping so it can make an excellent hedge or is good in pots or tubs for topiary
The cream coloured fluffy flowers are followed by bunches of small edible pink to red pear shaped berries
The berries have a tart, cranberry like flavour, with a hint of cloves and are a popular bush food, can be used to make tasty jams
