 34/ Eugenias 

I have many species of this genera. What I can say about them is that they don’t share their pots with small vegetables (grumichama is an exception). They survive OK in high winds. Once mature, don’t have heavy water demands. They do require fertilizer if you want a lot of fruit. Birds and animals will eat the fruit so they need to be caged. I haven’t noticed much insect damage besides katydid nibbles. No aphids or scale.
