Eugenia Hedge

Question

I’m attempting to grow new Eugenias in a shaded area…trying to fill in an area where there are currently Eugenias, but they were planted 30 years ago when there was full sun in this area.

Has anyone had luck growing Eugenia hedges in shade?

Thanks…

Answer 1

For an area that receives part shade to part sun, try surinam cherry (Eugenia uniflora), hardy in USDA zones 9b through 11.
You could likely do well if you have morning sun and afternoon shade.
