Waterhousea floribunda - weeping lilly pilly
An ornamental medium sized to large rainforest tree which can reach 30 metres in its natural range, smaller in cultivation, so suitable for larger properties, farms and parks. It has a lightly weeping habit and attractive wavy edged leaves. It flowers in summer with trusses of white fluffy flowers, followed by pale pink to pale green fruit. At its best in a sunny spot with good regular watering. Will tolerate some dry spells. Can be affected by psyllids, a sap sucking insect which causes pimpling on the leaves. Mild attacks can be left alone, if needed spray with neem oil or white oil.
