What Happens To A Barbados Cherry After Being Planted
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- One week ago, we moved a Barbados Cherry tree (also known as Acerola) from a container into the ground. Within that week, the tree pushed out a new flush of flowers, whereas the other trees that are still in containers have not. This video demonstrates the importance of keeping tree roots cool; if container growing, consider moving your tree to an area where it will receive shade from the Phoenix sun in the summer.

Wow! Who'd a thought such a spindly li'l tree(more like a bush,lol)could give so many flowers and from what you tell us, each flower is a cherry! Thank you Shamus for sharing what you know on fruticulture! :)
Man i can't wait for my Barbados cherry to flower like yours!
TheBearded Gardener mine did after 4 days in the ground, I already have fruit after 3 weeks
Excellent info. Thanks for sharing your tree wisdom, Shamus!
You need to trench in your potted plants and cover with shaving pine or cedar that will help your moisture and keep cooler.
I’m so excited. I just found one and can’t wait to get home to plant it. Thank you for the info.
I have so many flowers on my bc, but none of them becomes fruit! What’s wrong?
This tree really fast growing.
I bought this tree the shape like 1 Slender stick branching into three. Managed to train as bonsai, i cut it really short. Only in 2 month (cut and grow). I cant believe now it looks like a tree with almost full of canopy. Strong taper branches with good ramification.
I have been stick in bonsai things for 5 years, never find any tree faster than this before.
I have just planted it 5 days ago should I prune it or wait for a month
Can I see the before and after pics of you cherry
My Barbados cherry tree flowers, and start getting the fruit buds... but they end up falling off. , I think it's just too hot right now here in South texas. But it's growing. Slowly but surely.
Very good hypothesis but I’m pretty sure it has to do with the oxygenation of roots which only happens in ground or fabric containers.
Plastic containers don’t breath well at all and trees hate that.
awesome little cherry tree
great video.
Those blooms are gorgeous! 😍 I would snatch up one of your cherries so fast if I was near 😉
LizNailsIt my cherries are not available
Shamus O'Leary I might have to make you an offer you can't refuse!
Amazing great update
Also, you probably added Neptune Harvest.. I add that too, and noticed after adding that, it usually flowers soon (some within 1-2 weeks); maybe the mulch too?
I have acerola cherry that has been with my for years.. sets of heaps of flowers just like yours or maybe more but no fruit. I did manual pollination (did not see any pollen) and change location as it maybe the heat but no avail. I wish yours has many successful fruits.
I have the same problem. The issue is that where I live (Minnesota), we don't have the little native bees that it attracts, which are from more tropical areas. Every year I try by hand, one year we got about 5 to make it. This year I am more hopeful because there was some actual pollen in the q-tip, if not there is next year. Mine is in a pot, and indoors most of the time, every year it does flower. This year more than ever.
@@carmenortiz5294 Mine did as well.. it just seems like it did not like that extreme hot summer days. It did fruit well last October 😊❤❤
this is a common issue, ive read, and the solution is to make a spray with honey and water..its sprayed on the flowers to attract pollinators.said to work like a charm@@carmenortiz5294
ive read that too.
Amazing! Thank you for the nice video!
I wish i could get my hands on a Barbados tree here in the uk
iiTzHaroonP4 I bought one from Amazon
WOW Amazing !
Can we hand pollinate the flowers if there are no bees around?
I don't like much the plants in pots. I previously observed that the pots are like a furnace and the roots suffer from this!
HI! is this plant like a creeper or a tree? if it is a tree, can we tie the branches together lightly so they don't sway so much. Thanks.
Mad idea doing the update
I planted a Barbados Cherry in ground, I want to move it to another location, is it possible? It is about 7 feet tall
I'd also like the answer to that one. I hear they have shallow roots. I need to move mine as well.
What did you end up doing, Gary?
I have 3 in 3 gallon pots, they are not showing any signs of growth this year. When do they start blooming? I ordered them on line and received 8 inch twigs that grew fast last year. Not sure if this winter killed them
How much room do they need for their root system. Is this a good option up near a house?
Off topic, but I am curious about how the pond is doing
He moved away from that property on the 32nd St 2 months ago
is it possible to ship it as bareroot tree? i would love to buy some trees also what zone is it for
wajdi alzaher if you don't mind putting in a little time, I bought 4 seedlings on Amazon maybe 2 months ago for about $25. Potted 2 indoors and 2 out on my patio. The 2 indoor plants have tripled in size. The 2 outdoors are just about double their original size. Where I live, it's been an average of 103 degrees for the last 2 months. Look into it. Best of luck.

how long it will take to give cherry
Barbadoes cherry is from Barbados.
probably 1-2 years if you take good care of them
@@nancyfahey7518 no its from Brazil
Hi shamus, I planted my Barbados cherry tree around end of September , beginning of October in chandler az. I was curious if it’s common for it to drop most of its leaves during the winter, and if they will come back? Thank you sir!
Yes, to both questions. I used to grow them when I lived in a tropical area, and they did shed old leaves.
Carmen Ortiz thank you for response, I have learned over this past two years now. It is now doing so well. Getting so big lots of flowers and fruit!
Does this meen you have some available for sale
It likes the alkaline soil.
So is barbados cherry sweet or sour ?
ive heard many different from people about how a barbados cherry tastes...and ive only ONE cherry myself and let me tell you it tastes exactly like a cherry! i love it so much! im seriously hooked now and have since bought a second two year old bush.i wish i had a hundred more with the space to grow them in.
Coincident.
It already takes several days for buds to come out and become flowers…. Want to know if your theory is true, put another plant down near the flowering one.
1st ;)
