The Barbados Cherry/Acerola is another tree we definitely recommend for California. Taking the heat and cold extremely well it has proven to be a strong and beautiful tree. It starts producing at a very young age making it very popular here. With plentiful harvest every year it gives enough fruit for everyone. The tree doesn't grow big and has dense foliage, staying evergreen it offers a green and lush look all year long.
The Barbados Cherry is a bright read color with a great taste. With a sweet and sour taste and extremely juicy. Packed with vitamin C (30 times more vitamin C than oranges) and other essential nutrients. With a yummy tangy flavor this fruit can be put to use for a great number of thing, like jellies, pastries or eaten as is.
