Barbados Cherry bush ( all Season )

Barbados cherry Tree – Island Gardeners Nursery

Barbados cherry, popularly known as acerola, is a small tree or a bushy shrub that produces glossy green leaves. The tree produces a small cherry fruit in vivid crimson color. Cherry malpighia trees are fairly uncommon outside warm climates, but are worth growing for their unusual fruit.

The fruit is soft, succulent, and juicy, with a sweet-tart cherry flavor. Extremely rich in vitamin C, it easily meets your daily requirements.

Often grown for producing acerola juice or jam, these delicate fruits bruise easily. It’s because of this that you’re unlikely to find it in your local supermarket. But when growing it at home, you can ensure at least one source of this unique and unusual fruit for your enjoyment.
