Lilly Pilly Diseases
Lilly Pilly Diseases. Lilly Pilly (Syzygium or Acmena spp.) is an Australian native that grows politely in small yards, taking up minimal space yet providing both good looks and shade. Only 10 to 25 feet tall with an upright or slightly weeping canopy, Lilly Pilly's branches rarely interfere with overhead lines. Roots pose only a moderate risk to underground utilities when properly spaced, according to the Urban Forest Ecosystems Institute website. An evergreen, Lilly Pilly grows best in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 9 through 11, depending on species, and needs full sun and moist soil. A hearty, generally easy-care tree, lilly pilly can suffer from phytophthora disease, root rot and rust.
