Description: Barbados Cherry 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.Barbados Cherry Trees bloom their lavender flowers in spring and the fruit is ready to harvest from March through August. 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.Many prefer to eat Acerola Barbados Cherries outside, out of hand from the tree, where the seeds can be easily discarded. There are also preparations for making jelly and sauces from Barbados Cherries that include straining the seeds out. They can also be canned and are traditionally used by drying and making into a powder that is a powerful, concentrated form of Vitamin C.PaymentPayment accepted through Paypal.Shipping We do not offer local pickup or combines shipping.
