Sounds interesting Kaz...
Chain grocery or local green grocery?
I'll try to find one.

Maybe we're over thinking this....
I have all my Eugenias growing in a locally produced compost/sand potting mix available at Home Depot.
I water them frequently with municipal hose water and give them Miracle Grow at regular strength every so often.
Full sun or lightly filtered sun in my cool greenhouse.
No issues.

That's a pretty beefy specimen... you might want to try moving it up to a larger pot.
They need the root space.
Unless you are growing it as a bonsai. 

Here's a few more photos to entice you:

Hi Lala,
They are VERY slow growing the first year... so don't let that worry you.
They are also sensitive to too much Nitrogen.
So you might want to give them plant food at 1/2 the normal dose for the first year
Your soil sounds fine. These plants really require a lot of patience.
By the 3rd year they should be taking-off!
Mine are growing in 20 gallon nursery bags and nearing 10ft tall.
Good Luck!

Great results... Interesting technique.... I've never tried bagging the individual grafts. I'm definitely going to try it soon!
Thanks again for your support and Good Luck!

They are easily the most reliable fruit I grow... followed by Persimmons.

Are you experiencing greening... or just generally poor performance?

I agree... full sun works best.... just make sure they are acclimated to it.

Good too hear Pat...
What are your plans... grafting or rooting? Both?
Let me know how it works out... and good luck!

Kevin


49
Grafting may be your easiest route to success.
Rooting will require a great deal of patience and TLC.
But I have done both....

5 and 20 gallon containers.
They bloom in both... 20 gallon needs watering less often.

No root pruning.

Just the basics.
Daily watering.
Frequent fertilizing and full sun.
