- A Eugenia plant (Eugenia myrtifolium, or Syzygium paniculatum) is a good choice fora topiary because its small leaves and delicate branches respond well to training and shearing.
- This plant grows outdoors year-round in U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 10 and 11 but can also grow indoors in a container.
- A Eugenia plant is an Australian evergreen with small, glossy green leaves. Although it can grow into any shape, the plant responds especially well to training as a ball, either a single ball or several balls connected by a central, bare stem.
- Eugenia is quite resilient and requires little special care when given the right growing conditions. It can grow well in full sun outdoors, but in regions with hot summer sun, a spot that gets full sun for the morning hours, followed by partial shade in the afternoon, is ideal.
- An outdoor-grown Eugenia topiary thrives in any type of garden soil that's well-drained and does poorly in soil that tends to stay wet for long periods. If your soil is high in clay, adding sand at planting improves its drainage.
