I caved a bought one this spring. Actually very surprised at how much this likes to grow! Thought it was a slower grower. Hope I can see cherries this year
Nice healthy tree ❤ I had one ordered from Amazon Just a little stick and it turned in a beautiful bush with lots of little cherries. I ❤the pink flowers. I planted a new one from Lowe’s and hope I will get this bigger fruits. The bushes cherry only as big as a big pea but they taste delicious Happy gardening 😊
I agree with you about planting two trees instead of one. You have a better chance of one tree doing better than the other. The other thing good about planting two is a lot of different fruit trees benefit from cross pollination as well as attracting some of the same beneficial pollinators
Yes, it's always a good idea. Especially when it's your favorite fruit because you get to eat more. I have six sugar apple trees in the ground. I can't wait to see how many I get this year.
The most common pest for these are the leaf footed bug. They are a nightmare if you do not control them. You can easily do it daily with a sprayer filled with dish soap and water. These bugs can not breathe in this liquid and its organic method. i have tried many other bug sprays and none work. This works great. Spray them and they will fall off the leaves and you can collect them in a bowl and discard them. They do fly. If you have not had these yet. You will. It took mine two years before these bugs showed up.
for guava tree, the more ofthen you prune, the more fruits you get. count from the new branch, pinch off new growth after the 4th pair of leave, you'll get flowers on the third pair of leaves, a couple weeks later.
How is the test ? Are they sweet? I am planning to take some of the cherry plants to Bangladesh. Florida weather is semilar to Bangladesh weather. Plz let me know.
Greetings from Riverview. I started my fruit garden. I have Carrie mango, ice cream banana tree and a ruby grapefruit tree. I'm looking for more fruit trees. I found them at Citrus landscape and garden in Tampa. Where did you get the Barbados cherry tree?
It's a different taste from the cherries you get in the grocery store. They can be a bit tart. If you wait for them to get a deeper red color before you pick them they can have a bit of sweetness to them. The Vitamin C content per cherry is great!
@@thomasmurphy1907 BrdMan Fether is right. The germination rate is low. I bought mine at USF in Tampa. There is the USF Garden show this month October 12th and 13th with a lot of vendors. Several vendors will be selling them. Great selection of plants.
Is there anything you put on it like fertilizer? I just bought one and I am still learning how to take care of it so that it will give more fruits, I only have 2 on the tree right now
I planted germinated cherry seeds last year-2020, however I planted apple 🍎 and lemon 🍋 seeds in same pot. I never germinated these at all..just put in pot of dirt with cherry seeds. I need to have a good picture of the leaves 🍃 please show me something from one’s germinated inside my Liana in Central Florida. I need a picture of plants about 12” height…Thanks
I've never germinated any of the seeds in a pot but if you look at the video you can see the bark of the trunk is very distinct. Hope that helps. You can find many pics on-line of the leaves also. Should be easy to figure out which one is the Barbados Cherry. Happy Growing!
I have a question. I planted two barbado cherry tree's about a month ago. I purchased them from a nursery and I believe they were Air-Layered. My question is how long on average does the fruit (cherries) take to develop once the tree Blossoms. One of my tree has Blossoms on it. Thank you. Nice Video by the way.
30 days from flower to fruit. If it doesnt fruit after flowering, the two problems are no pollination or not enough sunlight. Acerolas need all day sun.
Seeing these videos, I got this cherry plant, now a few months old. It is still in a pot since it is not hardy enough. Will plant it in soil after a few months. Can someone one say what is the maximum temperature it can tolerate. Our max temp is 40⁰C.
Im from central Florida I just got an acerola cherry tree about 3 gallons and it has some flowers on it but I would like to keep it in the pot, any advice on how much water it needs so it can keep flowering?
I would move it to a larger pot to give the roots more room. You will get more fruit. The tree will need regular watering when it is young. It gets more drought tolerant when it is bigger and more established. Hope that helps. Happy Growing!
I am from srilanka.when i plant it from cutting it was only 10 cm height in 2020th April now it was one meter in height and bushy plant(2021st february) .very healthy.how long does it takes to bear fruits
Mine is 4 years old and only 3 cherries so far. Not growing too quicly. I give it miracle grow. Gets about 4 hours of sun. Any suggestions?? To get it to produce. Im in central florida.
It may need more hours of sunlight. Try a 2-10-10 fertilizer with other nutrients and make sure it gets enough water. A light pruning may help get fruit production going but prune it when there is not fruit on the tree, maybe in late winter.
@@tropicalfruitman4394 thank you for your reply. I think it gets more sunlight than I thought. It probably gets a couple hours in the morning but then once the Sun comes around to the afternoon it starts getting sun again when it's past the trees so I think fertilizers probably wouldn't needs and more water. Have a Merry Christmas :-)
Any problems with pests? My Cherry's are constantly under attack from black Beatles with red spots on the side. The first organic bug spray has failed to keep them at bay. Frustrating but plan to win the war. Thanks for sharing.
Fortunately I have not had any issues with pests. I would recommend next time you spray, try spraying the ground around the tree and the lower trunk area. Don't give up.
@@tropicalfruitman4394 Best results were spraying the bugs off, then hand squeezing them. I found out they prefer eating their dead friends over the delicious cherries . Right now tree is flowering. Always a few stragglers when the cherries arrive. Will try DR LYMES eliminator, I called them and they sent me a free sample. Thanks for the tip.
Well, last year I got very little fruit off my two trees. This year I have one that is loaded and very little on the other. The one tree that has very little I think needs more direct sunlight. I would be patient, fertilize and water. Good luck. Happy Growing.
Awesome! I gave my tree a light pruning last month and followed up with a 2-10-10. How are you pruning yours and what fertilizer do think is best? I have a smaller tree that I am going to move to another spot. I assume now or next month would be the best time to transplant it?
I would wait a week or so to replant. When you do do not over water it. I use a 6-4-6 fertilizer from Lowes it is specially designed for these trees. As far as pruning very little on my part. I make them more into a bush. The fruit and grow faster that way.
I would say that is not normal. You more than likely have an issue with the tree. I've never lost all the leaves at any time on either of my two trees. Check for any insects of fungus on the tree. Good Luck!
Man I love my Barbados Cherry tree. I live in Central East Florida. I captured a video of my Barbados and put it up on my channel. Check it out. It's big.
I will answer the question you asked from maha sona below since you blocked him after asking a question lol. The tree created seeds. You asked a question and blocked him before he gives an answer coz you know he's telling the truth LOL
Florida has bad nematodes. They say that mulch discourages them. Maybe some. Pete from Green Dreams youtube says you can plant figs, still in the pot, and the buggers don't go deep enough to get to the roots. I bought the good nematodes one year. "Ladies in Red" There were like a million in a teaspoon, you mix with water and sprinkle around. But it's too hot in Florida. They die. We have to do it in the winter, it cost alot of money. I believe it works but over the years it's like back to normal here. It did save a bunch of trees and bushes.
I'm a first time cherry tree grower and I'm very excited to see my potted cherry tree started to bloom.UI also have potted pink guava I love growing fruit trees too. I wish I have a wide backyard like you do.
yea, i'm fortunate to have a large yard to grow everything. Good luck and Happy Growing!

Give it time. Once they start producing fruit they are faithful! Happy Growing!

Last year alone I had over 35 gallons of cherries from my trees.
That's a lot of cherries and a lot of vitamin C.
How do you store them. I just bought my first tree
I caved a bought one this spring. Actually very surprised at how much this likes to grow! Thought it was a slower grower. Hope I can see cherries this year

Barbados cherry is a good source of vitamin C... I have a plant at my home garden ...
Yes, they are loaded with vitamin C.
I totally agree about planting same variety in different areas. I also have one that will do great and another might die. Great looking food forest😊

Hello from Wesley Ch. !
Glad to see they grow here. Have you tried cuttings to see if they grow? If it works I would buy from you.
I haven't tied cuttings. I may start selling in the future. I will let you know. Thank you.
I think it's delicious.. I wish I can taste that acerola cherry

Did you get your acerola locally or did you grow from seed? I'm also in the Tampa area and would love to grow some of these. Thanks and great vid!

How to plant from seed?? Having issues the seeds germinating.
Germination rate is low. It can take months for the seeds to germinate if they do at all.
Ps.. I love that you reference God and His creation

These are really cheap in Asia. Like $0.10 per pound. It’s good with hot pepper and salt.

You can get fruit within a year and a half. They seem to produce fruit at an early age. It may also depend on the climate where you are at.
