MALPIGHIA
GLABRA
Barbados Cherry
It is a good idea
to keep the plant trimmed, perhaps around 6'-7' in order to make it easy for
people to pick the cherries. The plant flowers and has fruit during the warm
weather. During the winter, the Malpighia slows down and doesn't look very
good. Keep it a little dry during this time.
