It tastes musky, similar to fig in flavor. The Jamaican Cherry trees are a beautiful sight to behold, especially in the spring when they are fully covered in pink or white blossoms. You can prune it down to one trunk and grow it as a specimen tree or grow it as a shrub in a hedge. Pick a location where the tree can get bright light. Initially, you will have to save the young plant from the harsh afternoon sun, but once it is established, the plant will handle it on its own. It will also do well in part shade. You have to be a little careful about the watering when the plant is young. Make sure the soil is not completely dry. The best method to follow is to water the plant when the topsoil feels a little dry to the touch.
