Description: Barbados Cherry has great potential as a very productive (nearly everbearing), staple fruit crop for tropical & subtropical regions. The soft, juicy red fruit is thin-skinned & incredibly delicious. Our variety seems to be sweeter than most of the tart varieties. The fruit contains 2-3 seeds inside which can be chewed and spit out with ease. Barbados cherry doesn't come with the hard pit of common cherry varieties and provides more vitamin C than its distant cousins. Its ascorbic acid content has been studied and shown to greatly assist the immune system.Often forming as multi-trunked shrub or trained as a tree, this plant is strong. The wood is thick and heavy, allowing the plant to tolerate more wind and chill hours than other fruit bearing trees in its growing zone. Barbados Cherry can easily be grown in containers due to its size, but for a full range of nutrient and to reach its climatic size, planting in the landscape will offer the most benefits.
