ID for probable Eugenia species
« on: March 28, 2021, 08:14:02 AM »
If anyone can help now I'd appreciate it, I can't recall what these are I get a lot of plants in trade. One out of 3 plants has flowered and fruits have set. These have been in the ground about 3 years and are approximatlely 2 feet tall. If this isn't enough I'll take more photos when fruit gets larger or ripens. Thanks for any advice or keys you'd like me to check for to help ID.

judging from the flowers... looks like a Surinam Cherry.

Well, I will wait and show some fruit. The leaves are quite different from any Eugenia uniflora I have ever seen.

 Pencil me in for a non-uniflora and there are many candidates.

This does seem like a possibility the leaves on mine are narrower than standard E. uniflora I will watch for fruit.
