Eugenia involucrata and related leaf colors
« on: April 10, 2020, 02:00:35 PM »
None of these have fruited yet, but I am enjoying seeing the variety of leaf color in Eugenia involucrata, E. calycina, and the orange E. aff. involucrata species. It will be very interesting to see how these relate to fruit color and taste.

Nice collection Nate.
I too have several different Involucratas(?) from different sources with different leaves as well.
Florida(FFF), Cali, and Portugal (Nelita).

My E. calycina from Adam has been blooming for 2 months now and I noticed this morning some fruit set.
Here' a few Pix of it from last year:

Thanks for sharing Kevin. I love the color on that one, especially in the fifth picture. It's neat how the stems turn red once they harden.
