Barbados Cherry Tree - Live Starter Plants - Malpighia Emarginata - Edible Fruit Bearing Tree for The Patio and Garden
The Barbados Cherry Tree (Malpighia emarginata), also known as Acerola, is a tropical and subtropical fruiting tree prized for its ornamental beauty and abundant harvests. This compact tree produces glossy green foliage that stays lush year-round and is accented by delicate pink-to-lavender blossoms that appear throughout the warm season. These blooms give way to clusters of bright red cherries, each with a smooth, glossy skin that contrasts beautifully against the dark foliage. The cherries are small, typically about the size of a marble, and are known for their vibrant color and juicy texture, making them highly attractive additions to both landscapes and edible gardens. The tree itself has a rounded growth habit with a dense canopy, making it ideal for home gardens, patios, and even container culture in regions with cooler climates. Its adaptability, aesthetic appeal, and productivity have earned it a reputation as one of the most rewarding tropical trees for gardeners to grow.In ad
