I saw that too Amelie but I can't remember if he actually gave a botanical name for it. I know another nursery has a lillypilly called 'neighbours begone' which is Acmena smithii. I found 'goodbye neighbours' on a site called Tim's Garden Centre, but they didn't give the botanical name either. I'm sure you'll find it around though.
Cheers,
Dee.

Thanks for the responses.

From the name, it sounds like a variant of the small leaf lilly pilly, Syzygium luehmannii, or maybe the magenta lilly pilly, Syzygium paniculatum, both of which are popular as a screening plants.

It was also recommended yesterday morning by Sabrina on the local gardening show for the same purpose.

Neighbours begone is a variety of Acmena smithii according to their website. What variety I don't know. Don't know where to get this plant either - no stockists listed.
Worries me a bit that they appear to be based in Victoria and I'm interested in this plant for Brisbane.
I suppose this is the same plant that was briefly mentioned on BHG?

There is a link on the BH&G website to the plant they mentioned: Goodbye Neighbours. But as others have already said, it isn't clear whether this is the same as the other similar ones mentioned.

Here is a link that might be useful: Goodbye Neighbours

Sabrina definitely recommended one of those mentioned my Raymondo. She had to spell it for the caller!!!

Here is another link.
People in Melbourne will well know this particular nursery and their version of Neighbours Be-gone:

Botanical Name: Acmena smithii
Height x width: 66m x 3m can be kept trimmed to any height and width
Planting distance for hedge or screen: 1-1.5m
Conditions: Full sun to part shade in well-drained soils
Features: Attractive glossy green foliage with red new growth, fluffy white flowers followed by small purple berries, fast growing
Landscape use: Landscape use: Hedges, screens, topiary, great for blocking out the neighbours!

After all that, I'm looking for something a bit taller - around 5 metres. Thanks to you all, anyhow. I might just stick to the normal old smithii or leumanii.

Acmena smithii is the correct name, and it is different to Syzygium luehmannii. I have both of them growing in my back yard. Amena Smithii can grow to 30 Meters in the wild however it will be smaller without competition. Greening Australia stock them on occasions. A number of nurseries have different varieties. The one on BHG was a dwarf that only grows to a couple of meters. I also have found one called "hot flush" at http://www.bullockcreeknursery.com.au/main-page.html

Happy hunting

this is all a farce. The so called name of the plant is not really Goodbye Neighbours. Goodbye Neigbours is actually a trademark which is now invalid because it has become the identity of the plant itself. The originator of this plant has never offerred a variety name . If the name of the plant was say Houzz Special it would be written like this Acmena smithii 'Houzz Special' GOODBYE NEIGHBOURS TM

Here properly used GOODBYE NEIGHBOURS only tells you who produced the plant and is NOT the identity of the plant itself which is 'Houzz Special'

If I used the trademark HIDE YOUR NEIGHBOUR I could write the description like this Acmena smithii 'Houzz Special' HIDE YOUR NEIGHBOUR TM ...The variety name stays the same 'Houzz Special' but the buyer can see its produced by the business that uses the trademark HIDE YOUR NEIGHBOUR
