Hey all! I've just removed some boring shrubs from the side of my lanai and suddenly have a 2.5ft x 10ft area to shove some more interesting things into. Get's plenty hot and tons of sun throughout the day. Still a WIP but this is what I'm working with (postimg seems to be having issues if it doesn't show):
I think an obvious choice would be some Red Jabo's but I already have several around the yard and want to change it up a bit. I'm wanting to throw something in that won't grow too fast and will be able to tolerate a pruning so that it doesn't push into the screen or the path, so I'm thinking some other Myrtaceae's would fit the bill... but since some of the varieties I have collected are still on the smaller side and I am not familiar with their growth habits I was wondering if I could get a good recommendation from the ones I currently have.
Currently in 1 gallonish+ sizes:
Jabos:
Campo Ramon
Coronata Restinga
Branca Vinho
And non-jabos:
Rainforest Plum
Myrciaria Floribunda
I do have some other Jabos that I can wait on until they get a bit bigger later next year, but those include:
Phitrantha Red Crystal
Ruby Honey
Otto Anderson Acu-Canaa
And some larger plants that I think might need a different spot with more room... unless I'm just crazy:
Plinia Oblongata
Trunciflora Gigante
