Why Grow Eugenia in the UAE

Eugenia is a favourite hedging and topiary shrub because it responds beautifully to trimming, forming dense, formal green walls, balls, cones and standards. It tolerates the UAE’s heat well, keeps its foliage year-round, and can be planted in rows for privacy screens or in containers to frame entrances and patios. Fresh growth often emerges in attractive bronze-red tones before maturing to deep green.
