 40/ Syzygium 

I have a few of this genus. They can tolerate high winds OK. They thrive in hot temperatures. They’re not too demanding with water. They get fairly large and don’t share their pot with small veg. They need to be brought indoors when temps go below freezing. They get a little bit of scale during winter when indoors. Not too bad. My rose apple got badly damaged by rats chewing the base of the trunk, but it came back fine.
