May  16,  2026- All About Anona and Eugenia

by Kelly Todd

Time: 9:30am to 11:30am

Venue: South Coast Botanic Garden

Kelly will be talking about the more unusual collection of Eugenia and Annona that he has been successful with in growing in Los Angeles. From the hyper rare Eugenia janeirensis to the more common Eugenia pyriformis, he’ll cover Eugenia that grow well in the ground, in a container, or the ones to avoid all-together. He will also go over a large selection of Annonas and hand pollinating flowers to produce some interesting hybrids.

There will be a plant auction at this meeting.
