A fruit bearing tree native to Mexico, Central and South America, it often grows in warm, tropical areas. Traditionally, acerola cherry has been part of the food culture of native Amazonian for centuries. Cherry-like fruits can be eaten fresh picked from the trees just as you would do in the case of other bush berries. However, their extremely tart flavor and proportionately large sized seeds would limit their use as a favorite table fruit.
