Ep185 - Acerola // Barbados cherry tree // A Delicious Medicinal Fruit!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- In this Video I show you my 16 month old Barbados Cherry Trees (Acerola) I got from Shamus Oleary's Tropical Fruit Trees last year!
After 1 year of heaving mulching feeding and consistent water, these trees are giving me delicious tropical cherries.
These cherries are not what you would typically expect from a cherry like bing... They have 3 soft seeds instead of 1 pit inside.
Since they are a tropical and subtropical tree, they do not like to grow in areas that freeze.
But if you do live in a warmer climate, these trees or bushes will thrive.
Of course every fruit tree loves to be heavily mulched and fed/watered consistently.
This superfood berry is super high in Vitamin C and other beneficial Vitamins, Minerals, also has Protein and high in antioxidants!
There are many health benefits of this fruit, which if you dont have your own tree, you can buy organic powder or capsules. Make sure anything you buy is organic and has no fillers! That is very important.
Some health benefits of Acerola / Barbados Cherry are:
- Reduces Oxidative Stress
- Helps Prevent Obesity
- High in Cancer Fighting Antioxidants and Anti Inflammatories
- Helps prevent Diabetes
- Known to Prevent Liver Damage
- Promotes Healthy Skin and Increased Collagen Formation
- Improves Heart Health
- Supports the Immune System
- Anti Aging
- Mood Enhancer
- Anti Septic
- Balances Blood Fat levels
I hope you are able to get your own Acerola tree planted at your house so you can enjoy these health benefits along with delicious fruit almost all year long!
Comment below if you have an Acerola tree and if so what is your favorite thing about this amazing tree and fruit ...

I bought my Barbados Cherry plant a month ago. I don't have a garden, have planted it in a pot in my balcony with only 4 hrs of sunshine. I am not too hopeful of a bountiful of harvest but seeing your energetic video is itself a treat.
Thank you!
Enjoyable presentation and coverage on the topic of Acerola/Barbados cherry trees.
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
I love the intro!!! :-)
John-Joseph Stone thanks!
John-Joseph Stone haha i agree
dorj bayar this is how I fertilize:) ua-cam.com/video/FOM3t7_wkhQ/v-deo.html
The Father's Day Surprise was excellent; SUBSCRIBED👍!
Fun intro put a smile on my face. Keep up the good work also you have a awesome dad.
John L. Thank you!!! Yes he is awesome!!
Very nice job. I want one
Thank you! And yes you should def have one:)
That beginning was Awesome!!!
The Dude thank you!!
The intro was awesome. So talented. My Acerola Cherry is a whopping 2 inches tall, grown from a cutting you gave me. Where there is life, there is hope.
Kimo Alopeke there is hope! The cuttings will take a little longer to grow big but I have one of my cuttings in the ground too so we’ll see how fast they grow together!!
I ordered an acerola cherry online six months ago. It was a four inch twig with roots. I planted it and it’s still four inches high but it has about a dozen “branches” that are three feet long! I will probably hang it up and see what happens.
About an hour after watching this video I noticed that i was cherishing my memory of it. I just clicked wanting to learn about the Acerola. From The Matrix intro to the Father's Day gift the vibe of the video was soul nourishing. All the best to you. [SUBSCRIBED]
Wow thank you so much for your comment!! That means so much to me! So glad to e-meet you!
That's a fantastic intro to the video:')
leese 44 thank you! Was so fun to make!
Ha Ha ! Love the intro.
Those cherries have REAL VIT C. Not just Ascorbic Acid, like we are supposed to believe is vit c from a store. They are the real thing.
Grow Dave .... Grow.
Jasfras1 right on!!! Thanks!!! They are delicious!
Vitamin c is ascorbic acid. Look up the thousands of studies and thousands of books on the subject
@@Test7017 .... I think you will find that Vit C is so much more than just AA.
I'm sure you will have found the correct info by now. Lables tell us what business wants us to belive.
Dig deep on the Web or even in the TED lectures. It's very informative.
@@Jasfras1 Ted is nothing more than big pharma garbage. Vitamin C kills all bacteria and viruses I know what it does in large doses
THE INTRO! 👍
squints palledorous thank you!!
the intro was majestic, lol. Loved it!
Kelly Mcmurry lol thanks Kelly!!
I'm salivating watching you eat that.
Nickey H lol it was so good!
If there was such a thing as the Midas Green Touch, where any plant a person touches grows beyond expectation, It's clear that Dave Stone has that Midas Green Touch. Those Acerola Barbados cherries look great. Thanks again for the two cuttings you gave to me last fall. They are now about 20" long with a few branches each. Thanks for showing what the flowers look like on yours. Maybe my two will have flowers this year and if so, perhaps some great looking cherries like yours. Great video. Thanks again.
Surfview thanks bro!! I’m so glad the cuttings are doing well! They may take a bit longer to get to this stage bc I planted mine as 3 gallons so they were prob already 1 year old.
But keep going and next year you will start getting cherries!
Cool . Dave u should plant somw pomegranates they are a great shrub to have very healthy too. I love my pomegranate.
Juan Arcos yes I need to do that!!! I just haven’t found the varieties I want to start with. I really want super sweet ones!
Your dad looks pretty cool.
Luved that lil Matrix intro...and outro! 😁
Central FL (zone 9b) I have a Barbados Cherry tree facing West getting our blazing afternoon sun and it def loves that sun. I love this fruit, so refreshing! 🧡
So creative
Simply Impish thank you!
I love the matrix opening! Hahaha
Thanks for the info. This is my next investment in my yard.
nola borrego awesome!!! Let me know how they do!
Excellent presentation of the Barbados Cherry. Inspiring. I wasn't sure where to plant my new 2 year old Barbados Cherry I bought online, and I was going to wait until next year, but after seeing your tree and all that fruit I'm not going to wait and I have just the place in mind to plant it. cute: "God's red pill the Acerola cherry." Subbed!
Thank you!!! So glad you liked It! The cherrys are blowing up this year!!
Love this tree! I have been able to grow two other trees from seed. hello from Homestead,Florida.😊
Finally getting fruit, but yes, very itchy. I have wear long sleeves when picking and pruning. Birds unfortunately love them as much as I do.
Congrats on the book ! Looks cool
Capture Cruces thanks! Yeah my dad is a genius and i can’t wait for him to reveal his novel series to the world! Gonna be epic!
Best video 😉 feel the passion in it
Mari's Vegetable Garden thank you Mari!!
lol cool, love it!
nola borrego thanks!!
Great episode. Also love the intro - very well done!
I got my first two cherries off mine today. It was planted about eight months ago and had flowers shortly after that but it did not get cherries. So I was very excited to get those today. There are quite a few flowers so I am hoping for more.
Really funny intro! 🤣
Lumian thanks!!
After year looking for acerola tree I got my own little tree. ❤
That was awesome! Love it. By the way i gave you a shout out on my last video 🤗 great video!
Just found your page. Very informative! What did you use to feed your acerola cherry tree? I'm in zone 9. What do you do when harsh winter weather come?
Sorry for my question. I didn’t hear you say what you used before I wrote my question.
Hi, Thanks for your videos! Do you happen to know what variety you have? there are lots of different varieties and some are larger, more tart, less tart and some have more vitamin C content.
lol great vid! just wanted to share my sad moringa story.. met a guy, planted 2 moringas at his place that I babied in pots for 3 years, broke up with guy a week ago. Now, I have no moringas... this hurts so bad! he was so selfish in so many ways.. may karma find him. He didn't know what they were but didn't want me to have my moringas.. a truly brokenhearted moringa fan... :(
perpetualfeast oh no! Some people don’t get it... but that means we gotta get you some more trees! If you’re in Az you can come by stonehaven and I’ll give you a sprout or two! If not in Az you should get some more seeds on iwantmoremoringa.com - some of the seeds in recommended:)
Remember, The future is bright!
Develop Awesome Skills thanks so much.. I'm in Florida.. I'll find more.. My babies are on their own but they're together!! I'll just PLANT MORE MORINGA!! YAY! btw did recently get my first acerola cherry! Bright future for this girl! Thx again
Take the red pill. Stones you are awesome.
Josh Laney I went down the rabbit hole! Lol love ya bro!
The Matrix beginning was awesome, I must get one of those trees my kids love cherries much rather grow them than buy them at the store . Think they'll grow in Central Florida?
I'm in central fl... They grow very well but keep them in a very large pot because they need to be protected in the winter under a carport or something because last winter frost killed mine, even though it was covered with frost cloth.
What do you feed it with to make it flower and bear fruit?
What do you use for fertilizer and how often do you use it?
Great intro!! 😂 Great info.
You and your dad are great. 🙂
I don't think Shamus ships though. 😕
Valerie Elfering thank you!! Yes my dad is great!!! Yeah he does ship, I’ll find out more details soon
Valerie Elfering so yes, contact shamus directly and let him know what you want and he will ship.
Develop Awesome Skills that's awesome that they do that now. Thanks for checking and getting back to me. :)
Valerie Elfering yes of course! It is really awesome!!
LOL You had to get that moringa plug in there at 11:45!
Question: I planted my acerola a few months ago and have been getting dozens of flowers. However, none of the fruit set. Was that the same for you this time last year? Thanks!
Hi there u lucky it got fruit. My just gave me flowers. :(
On a weekly basis..how much water would you estimate your acerola tree needs? I know this may change during the cooler months. Just a rough estimate?
Forage Forage well I have 20 bubblers on my some so water gets spread far, but each acerola has its own bubbler and I run the zone for 12 minutes every morning at the moment.
OK.. thanks.. I was watching..another video..on Figs..and she was indicating.. during Phoenix hot months..each tree is getting about 3 gallons at each watering.. and does that 3 times a week. During cooler months.. she said about 2 to 3 gallons only twice per week.
Really trying to get a handle at how much water.. might really be needed to have edible tree forest..+ other edible plants.
Forage Forage yes water is one of the main keys. And consistency of water is very important... and with heavy wood chips it is hard to overwater bcc the wood chips will soak it up.
I like erring on the side of more water to get everything established. Then I’ll cut back over the years. Last year when I planted I watered 2x per day on everything.
Excellent! Thanks - love the vids!
I have two 7” seedlings. Their leaves are turning brownish at the edges. Am I over watering , not giving it enough fertilizer, not enough sun? I’m in zone 10b. Thanks for your help !
L O F E N O I A L O F make sure you mulch heavy- like 2ft deep around the tree. Then feed the mulch with organic fertilizer and water daily...
Sometimes they may need a bit of afternoon shade during the hot months to come if they are trying to heal from some damage... once healthy again you can remove the shade.
Even full sun trees appreciate shade sometimes:)
Develop Awesome Skills that’s great 😄 do you recommend folier kelp spray and worm castings for fertilizer? Or even using a general fruit fertilizer sprinkled around drip line? Thanks
L O F E N O I A L O F. How I feed my trees
my - not so secret mix... lol - is 4 ingredients for root feeding and 3 ingredients for foliar feeding mixed in a 5 gallon bucket.
Root feeding- for maximum growth feed 1 five gallon bucket per tree every month during the growing season - spring through fall - do not feed in winter.
Root feeding mix
- Humic acid
- Liquid seaweed
- Chelated iron
- Fish emulsion
Mix: 1 capful of each ingredient into the 5 gallon bucket then fill with water.
This will feed one tree. Repeat this process for each fruit tree you want to feed... once per month or once every 2 months, even once every 3 months during the growing season will be beneficial.
Foliar feed: for maximum growth spray all your trees, every 2 weeks during the growing season - spring through fall - do not feed during winter. Spray the entire leaf, the top and underside with a light mist covering the entire the whole tree including new growth. Make sure you apply foliar feed around dusk-- after the sun has set - so the sun doesn’t bake the leaves with liquid on them.
Also make sure to follow mixing instructions carefully as having a mix that is too strong can damage the plant by basically overdosing on nutrients.
Foliar feed mix:
- humic acid
- Liquid seaweed
- Chelated iron
Mix one capful of each ingredient in a 5 gallon bucket, fill with water and you will have 5 gallons of spray.. which will last a long time.
Get a 1 gallon pressurized pump sprayer and fill and spray all trees at dusk 2x per month.
You can find all the ingredients on amazon, I buy them in 1 gallon containers which will last me almost 2 years.
What variety is this?
How about the other tropical cherry, Jamaican cherry aka strawberry tree. Do you have that at Stonehaven?
Nickey H I just bought one from shamus!! I’m excited to plant it!
Awesome video.. Your so silly!
Do you recommend just letting them grow without pruning ? Thank you
L O F E N O I A L O F I do a main prune early spring then will prune straggling branches throughout the year.
Develop Awesome Skills thanks !
L O F E N O I A L O F of course!
