Hi Timbogrow,

Many of these species have never fruited in the USA yet, but based on taste reports and ease of growth in SWFL I would say Eugenia squamiflora is a great choice.

Great selection.  What is the secret with getting that beach sugar apple a good size?  Some of you guys are wizards.
 Mine is basically doing nothing here in California.

Hi SD,

Honestly nothing special. Consistent feeding and irrigation. The Annona is probably 1.5 years old.

I'm in CA too, while I am not growing that annona, I can tell you the 'trick' to getting good growth rates for most of these specimens is to emulate similar scenarios such as where the 'wizards' live aka FL/HI.

Nothing outside grows as fast as it does inside my grow tent, where the temps are consistently high and humidity is decent + year round feeding, now tack on the fact that the tropical folks get lots of nutritious rain water as well....

You and me both.... I love watching them and imaging someday I can also spend 100+$ on one.. I like watching the final seconds when it skyrockets every time.

fwiw Arrayan is another name for Luma apiculata according to Ben Kamm of Sacred Succulents

Quote
Luma apiculata  “Arrayan”
Myrtaceae. Highly ornamental evergreen shrub or tree, from 5–30’+. Smooth red and brown mottled bark, dark green leaves and fragrant white flowers. 1/2″ edible black berries, sweet with a slight aromatic aftertone. Native to Chile and southwest Argentina. Extremely generous with blossoms and fruit. The fruit is traditionally eaten fresh and made into a chicha, we find it makes an excellent preserve or cordial. Sun to part shade. Drought tolerant when established, but does best with regular irrigation. Z8a–b

Fruits also look very similar to the Eugenia sp. arrayana on your website

Could be named because the fruits look similar or could actually be a Luma spp.

Fruits look the same but from my experience the seed and growth of seedling are different

Do the plants look like Eugenia?

not suggesting it is L. apiculata, but could be another Luma spp.

Leaves are very unique actually. Bigger than apiculata and with purple veins. Could be Luma Spp or myrceugenia
