Dwarf Lilly Pilly to 3m, fast with fruit (forum)

M1W starts with ...
I'm looking for a variety of Lilly Pilly that is dwarf (to 3m), fast growing, screening, produces good quantities of fruit, is psyllid free and is suited to a coastal area in Sydney. Any recommendations?

I recommend Syzygium 'Cascade'. I'm not sure whether it is psyllid free - I had one growing in my garden at my previous home (near Nowra) and never saw any psyllids on it. It is a hybrid between two different lilly pillies, has beautiful pink powder puff flowers, has foliage growing down to the ground. You can take off the lower branches to show the trunk if you desire.I looked at 2 sites - one said it grows to 3 metres, the other said 4 metres. I now live near Jervis Bay and it is one of the first plants I have put in my new garden. It is in full sun and hasn't missed a beat over these last couple of exceptionally hot days. There are a lot growing in local gardens here and they all look beautiful. You won't be disappointed.
