  Acmena ingens - lilly pilly

A medium to large rainforest tree, which will grow to thirty metres tall. This lilly pilly makes a good ornamental for parks and farms with red flushes of new growth. The large size makes it unsuitable for garden planting. It also has large red fruit in summer which are great for seed eating birds, and the fluffy cream flowers in spring attract butterflies and bees. The fruit can also be used to make sauces and jam. Be aware that fallen fruit can be a slip and trip hazard if not cleaned up.
