care

These trees are native to subtropical regions, so plant them in zones 9 and above.  They enjoy  consistent watering in well-drained soil.  If eugenias experience a period of drought, they will defoliate quickly. These plants will not thrive in areas where water pools and does not readily drain. When planting them in the landscape, amend the soil with some compost and gardening soil.  Fertilize them once in the spring, summer, and fall for the best results.  A quality, slow-release granular fertilizer is ideal for consistent results.
