Hi
I have many Lilly pillies in my backyard and my friend who did our garden cut all the lower branches off exposing the Lilly pillys trunks. I am so upset as I didn’t want them to do this and i desperately want them to grow back. They are weeping Lilly pillies and I wanted to know will the lower branches sprout new growth or has my friend completely stuffed my Lilly pillies? I know the upper branches will sprout new growth and eventually weep over the gap on the lower part I just hate the way they look. I am desperate for any advice thank you.
Hi @ameliahollis89,
How mature are they???
We have a different type, quite mature and when I trim the trunks new little branches will always sprout - in new spots.
I am not a green thumb but I did pick info and tips from our younger daughter (was a horticulturalist) who paid a visit when I was pruning ours and remarked... If those were weepers dad there would be no trunk branches to prune.
Don't know.. if yours are 'younger' I think they will grow back - fingers crossed.
Cheers
