This one-of-a-kind tree stands apart from the rest. What you see in the photos are what you get, and there will never be another one like it.

I’m Tille the Barbados Cherry, native to the Caribbean. My evergreen leaves are lanceolate shaped and produce small pink flowers that grow in clusters in the spring. When healthy, my flowers eventually turn into little red fruits called Acerola, high in vitamin C and antioxidants, which is used to make juice, jams and jellies. Fun Fact: A single Acerola cherry contains the total daily allowance of Vitamin C, about 50-100 times than that of an orange or lemon.

I like full sun to indirect bright sun and warmer temperatures to bloom. The best spot for me would be a sunny location with some afternoon shade.

To water, submerge my pot up to the rim for 5-10 minutes and let me drain thoroughly. Submerge about once every 5-7 days, or when my pot feels about 1/2 lighter. Keep me in temperatures above 60 F all year and make sure my soil never dries out. For good air circulation, put me in a room with a fan or open window or take me outside in the warm months. You can fertilize me through April-November for an abundant Acerola harvest.

Symbolism: The Barbados Cherry is one of the richest natural sources of Vitamin C, and thus has historical significance as a go-to remedy for colds and flu. In Feng Shui, cherries carry the Fire element, symbolizing courage and passion. Its Chi, 'Li,' illuminates paths and inspires personal growth through understanding and learning.
