dwarf lillypilly not susceptible to psyllids

 Graham Ross mentioned this on his gardening program on 2GB, and
I thought it worthwhile archiving the info on this group:

A lillypilly that is not susceptible to damage by psyllids (causing
unsightly blistering on the leaves) is the dwarf lillypilly,
Allym Magic.

He didn't describe what its fruit is like, but try a google search.

lillypillies are just lovely, aren't they? (and the jam is just the best!!!)

is there a lillypilly that's not prone to infestation by bats? <g>

So easy to make: no peeling! I throw in a handful of lemon seeds to
make it set. But developers have cut down the huge lillypilly on a
vacant block where I have been harvesting for years, so there'll be
no more jam till I can find another. (And my mulberry in the next
suburb has been cut down, too!)


I was not aware that bats have a taste for lillypilly apples. (I call
them apples because that's exactly what they taste like.) I have
pondered aloud here previously how it seems strange for there to be
no native bird, animal or bug that eats lillypilly fruit.

If you want a bat-free lillypilly, plant only the male tree.  <;->

these people are just being thoughtless, aren't they?! ;-)


one place we lived, the bat infestation when it was fruiting was positively
alarming. (not to mention exceedingly noisy, and poo-covered.)

it perhaps only happens if there is nothing better nearby? - i don't know.
but it does happen!!
