Description: Cherry Tree in 5L Pot Barbados Cherry Tree 2-3ft Tall Outdoor Edible Tree Barbados Cherry (also called Acerola) is a small tropical tree that grows white and lavender blooms in spring, followed by bright red, tart cherries that can be eaten fresh or made into desserts and jellies. Barbados Cherries have one of the highest concentrations of Vitamin C of any known fruit, with a single cherry containing more of the antioxidant than an average-sized orange. The trees remain small between 10 and 12 feet tall at maturity, and are suited to any landscape.Barbados Cherry Trees can be grown in the ground in USDA Zones 9 to 11. They can also be grown in a container in colder areas, and trimmed into a hedge or shapely shrub. They are fast growing and prefer full sun. Plant your Barbados Cherry in a spot that gets at least 5 or more hours of direct sunlight per day and enjoy fresh, nutritious tropical cherries from your own garden. In USDA Zones 9 to 11, plant your Barbados Cherry Tree in a sunny spot that has good draining soil with a pH of between 6.5 and 7.5. Water when planting and then once per week for the first two months, provided that the soil becomes dry down to 2 inches between watering. If the soil is still damp, skip that week’s watering, and resume watering the following week.Once established, the Barbados Cherry Tree is drought tolerant and can take up to a few weeks of dry weather. An established growing tree can thrive with little to no watering, and should only have to be irrigated in the case of extended droughts. Because the Barbados Cherry Tree is small, it can be grown in a pot with drainage holes on a patio or porch. Be sure that your potted Barbados Cherry Tree gets plenty of sunlight and allow the soil to dry down to 3 or 4 inches below the surface before watering. In addition to being a concentrated source of Vitamin C, Barbados Cherries also contain other vitamins and minerals such as iron and calcium. The fruit is ripe when it turns a bright red, and is about a 1-inch oval. Do a taste test for flavor. Barbados Cherries have a sharp but pleasing tartness that is between a tart cherry and a slightly sour grape. !!!!Damaged leaves or small branch breakage can be a normal part of the shipping process and does not affect the health of the plant.
