Hello @Adam52 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your lilly pilly.

It's possible that there might not be enough nutrients in the soil and is thereby preventing your lilly pilly from flourishing. Fertilizing, adding nutrients to the soil and proper pruning all contribute to the health of the plant. I suggest having a quick look at this guide - How to maintain healthy lilly pillies.

Having a proper watering schedule helps and keeping the soil aerated around it helps with the absorption of water and nutrients. 

Let me call on our experienced members @Noelle and @mich1972 for their recommendations.

If you have any other questions we can help with, please let us know.

Hi @Adam52 

Lightly trimming the shoots on the tops of the trees may encourage bushiness lower down, but read the guide first before getting out the secateurs!
