The plant I ship is about 2ft tall Combined shipping: If bought with other plants that I sell, shipping is combined and discounted. Last two photos are of one of actual plants This Florida native plant is a beautiful evergreen shrub that can be pruned to make all kinds of interesting shapes. The Eugenia Myrtifolia is often used in landscaping to add privacy. If you're an experienced gardener you can try your hand at pruning your own Eugenia into your desired shape! • MAINTENANCE: Low/medium • WATER: Heavy, once or twice a week • LIGHT: Full sun • SOIL: Well drained soil /Mulch recommended How to Care for Your Eugenia Topiary This species grows best in USDA hardiness zones 9 through 12. However, when properly cared for, this species can thrive in colder regions. The following will help you properly care for your Eugenia topiary: Light Requirements – Whether planted in the ground or potted, this species flourishes when exposed to full or partial sunlight in the morning or late afternoon. Avoid direct sunlight when the sun is at its peak to prevent scorching. Note: When this tree is planted in the ground, its location should provide shelter from prevailing wind and mid-afternoon shade. Water Requirements – Eugenia is tolerant of mild drought conditions once established. Regular watering during the first two or three growing seasons encourages it to develop strong, deep roots. During extreme drought, deep watering once or twice weekly will help keep it disease-free. Eugenia topiaries are sensitive to salt buildup in the soil (primarily when potted). Your tree will signal this condition by shedding leaves. When this happens, immerse the pot in distilled water to dissolve any excess salt, then water only with distilled water. Note: When potted, water the tree as needed to maintain moist soil. Place the pot in a deep bowl or tray filled with distilled water to keep its soil moist. Tip: An easy way to detect dry soil for potted or planted Eugenia trees is to check the top inch of the soil for moisture. When it is dry 1/2 inch down or more, it’s time to irrigate. Don’t wait for your tree’s foliage to wilt or droop. Soil Requirements – An outdoor-grown Eugenia topiary thrives in any type of well-drained garden soil. It does poorly in soil that stays wet for long periods. It is a good idea to keep these plants in acidic soil (5.5 – 6.5pH). When planting outside, till to a depth of 18 inches minimum. Make sure large rocks are removed when preparing the planting location. Fertilizer that I include as an option is an excellent choice for professional growers or nurseries if you grow plant in a pot. I personally use it for all my plants. It has polymer coating to allow slow release during 8-9 months evenly. You don't have to worry about repotting the plant for about 1 year or worry about burning plant with your regular over the counter fertilizer. You need about 3-4oz per 3 gal pot or 4-5oz per 5 gal pot.
