Clusia is one of the most popular privacy hedges in South Florida. The leaves are thick and dark green, so a row quickly turns into a solid wall of privacy.
It tolerates salt, wind and dry spells, and it has few pest problems. Prune by hand rather than shearing for the best look.
We plant it on a straight line at the spacing that gives you privacy fast, and we can set the height that fits your lot.
Good for
- Fast privacy
- Salt and wind
- Sides and rear to 10 ft
As a privacy hedge
- Hedge height: 6 to 10 ft
- Fills in: Moderate to fast, about 2 ft a year
- Trimming: About 2 to 3 trims a year, 3 to 4 to hold a tight edge
- Best spot: Front at 6 ft, or sides and rear up to 10 ft
- Note: On a long run, mix in a second species to spread the risk.
