malpigghias
Last year I promised Carl L. Rosner that I would post some pics of my malpigghias so hear are some of them....Carl?
This one is a Barbados Cherry, Malpigghia glabra
It just had a HARD trim to try and get it back in shape so it looks like a scraped ape right now. It is about 16 inches tall. They don't ever quit growing here in Florida so it was very shaggy and out of shape. They get very stringy looking or "willowy" when not kept compact through trimming. This is also the parent plant for most of the other Barbados Cherries I have...a total of 28 of them, mostly still small and in training. That number is after I gave away about half of them. It just got to be too much trying to keep up with them all....especially the trimming.
