🍒Tips for growing Barbados Cherry trees:
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged for the first 6–8 weeks. After establishment, water deeply once a week, increasing frequency during dry spells.

💚Fertilizing: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (10-10-10) three times a year—in spring, summer, and fall. Avoid over-fertilizing.

💚Pruning: Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to shape the tree and remove dead or crossing branches.

💚Pollination: Barbados Cherry is self-pollinating but benefits from bees for higher yields. Plant pollinator-friendly flowers nearby. Container Planting Use a large container (at least 15 gallons) with drainage holes. Fill with a well-draining potting mix and follow the same planting and care steps. Water more frequently, as pots dry out faster. Harvest the bright red cherries when fully ripe and enjoy their tangy-sweet flavor!

💚Soil: Test the soil to ensure a pH of 5.5–7.0. Enrich the soil with compost if needed to improve drainage and nutrient content.

💚10-12 ft tall in yhe ground but of course will not get that tall in a container!

💚Growing zones 9-11 otherwise containers are the best way.
