I’m in 9a in Texas. I always take several cuttings from the trees and carry them through the winter in case the ones in the ground don’t make it through the cold. They root easily. They grow so fast in summer in full Texas sun. They have fruit in the fall. So growing them that way they could be used as an annual. Occasionally I have one make it through in a protected area but they really hate cold.
I lived in Guam and my Acerola tree in the ground started to fruit at about 2 years and fruited every month all year round without any pauses, i had the tree for 8 years before I moved back to Mainland USA.
These trees are growing extremely well. Some questions:What are the temperature extremes where you are located? What latitude are you on? How big to the plants have to be before they will tolerate frosts? Will they handle occasional days over 47C (even 50C)?? How drought tolerant are they? What are their watering requirements ? Do birds or other animals attack the cherries?
Thanks for the video and info. I put mine in the ground in April as a 1ft twig and now in October it is 8ft! Hoping it makes it through the winter here in bay area california zone 9b. I was planning on protecting it but it grew too big to cover!
I have Barbados cherry that I purchased as a 6” tall plant in March of 2019 that just gave me its first fruit. I have in a pot with Jays potting soil. So it may not always take years.
i know Im asking randomly but does anybody know of a trick to log back into an instagram account..? I stupidly forgot the login password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me
@Fletcher Marshall I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Seems to take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Great video! I am planning on planting a Barbados cherry in a tight backyard space as well, so could you please advise whether I cran keep a Barbados cherry to a 7' x 7' maximum height and width indefinitely as it will be near a fence as well by puning it or this plant cannot tolerate hard pruning and may develop dead branches or not fruit well? Also do you know if this plant can be coppiced like mulberries in case I want to reduce its height drastically? Best regards
I've totally FAILED twice with Barbados cherries in farther N. Cali 9a--so here I am hoping to learn how to do it right.

I am looking to buy a small tree for my zone 9 Florida back yard. I enjoyed this video a lot.
I found mine at Home Depot at the beginning of this year. I now have a lots of flowers. They were about 22.00 a bush.

Mine is big and in full sun and can get it to fruit what am I doing wrong?
For those looking for a true cherry, these have no relation to actual cherries and don't taste at all like cherries.
How many hours of sun do these need?
Are those the super tart ones?
Still learning and a question: can I plant it in 25gal pot? If so is it possible get fruit?
yes and yes
Can it be shaped into a small tree amd if so what will its height and width be?
I know the video is older, but do you have any for sale?
What does it taste like ?
Tomatoes. It is not sweet
Only if you eat when red. If you waot till dk red, then its sweet
It disappointingly tastes like tomatoes. It is a beautiful bush.
Can I purchase a seedlings from you... Barbados cherry
They taste kinda citrusy.
so, it's just barbados cherry trees. Not 101.
Konse se des ki he
Low production cherry tree.
Is Verayti you
don’t waste your time. Lots of bragging & “Oh man“… nothing to learn and no real substance here.
