Description

Add a tropical touch to your garden with the Barbados Cherry Plant, also known as the Acerola Tree. This evergreen shrub features green foliage, delicate pink flowers, and the potential to produce bright red cherry-like fruits under suitable growing conditions. Grow it in a sunny garden or a large patio container with well-drained soil and regular watering. Best suited to warm climates, this tropical plant can also be grown in a container in regions where seasonal temperatures require moving it to a sheltered location.

  • TROPICAL BARBADOS CHERRY PLANT – Grow a Barbados cherry plant, also known as acerola, valued for its rounded growth habit, green foliage, small pink flowers, and bright red cherry-like fruits. Plant characteristics may vary by cultivar.
  • EVERGREEN GREEN FOLIAGE – This tropical shrub retains its green leaves in suitable climates, creating an attractive garden feature throughout the year. Its branching growth can also be shaped with occasional pruning.
  • PINK FLOWERS AND RED FRUITS – Small pink flowers may be followed by round, red fruits under suitable growing conditions. Flowering and fruit production depend on plant maturity, climate, sunlight, watering, and variety.
  • SUNLIGHT AND GROWING CONDITIONS – Barbados cherry grows well in sunny locations and can tolerate partial shade. Use well-drained soil and provide regular watering, particularly while the plant is becoming established.
  • FOR WARM-CLIMATE GARDENS AND CONTAINERS – Suitable for tropical and subtropical landscapes, garden borders, and large patio containers. It generally grows best in USDA Zones 9B–11 and is sensitive to cold temperatures, so container growing can be useful in cooler regions.

Haven’t planted it yet. Seeds came quickly and I really like the packaging and the picture of the flowers. So far- Great!

This plant arrived packaged with loving care, with wrapping to contain the soil and tissue paper to protect the plant. I love it. Its in great shape upon arrival.

I received my Allegheny Spurge Roots last Friday and planted them the following day marking each with a pink flag so I could see if they came up next spring. I'll amend this review ( and possibly the rating) next Spring to let you know.

Packaging was pretty banged up when I received this in my mailbox! The plant is wrapped in plastic wrap and the trailing limbs were broken. It is very small and not like the picture that is very fulling with several trailing limbs. I’m disappointed at size it is NOT worth 70$!!!

Both plants arrived in perfect condition. Now to water them as needed and watch them grow!

Arrived looking healthy today. It was two days late get here but that was postal issue not theirs. I have it potted up and under grow light so it’s a wait and see what happens.

Plants were delivered in excellent condition, I was very happy with how everything went. Thank you so much

The plant arrived promptly. It shows many signs of meticulous care including careful pruning and staking; and its health is highlighted by vigorous new growth.

It is absolutely not 30" tall let alone 36"; but it may be 26" inches tall in a few places, measuring from the bottom of the pot. It is, however, well branched and it spreads out more than twelve inches in each direction. I think it has better indoor plant presence for its good horizontal development than if it were a taller whip. Very pleased.

Pink not as bright as the picture yet but plant is healthy. It appears however slightly travel stressed from traveling via mail from California to Illinois. I set it for now in indirect sunlight and gave it a tiny bit if distilled water. After 10 days I will repot in a pot the next size larger in succulent soil. I think it will be fine.

Arrived alive with great planting and care instructions. Hope I didn’t get them too late for an Idaho winter.
