Why You’ll Love Our Grafted Barbados Cherry Plant

• The Ultimate Vitamin C Superfruit: Barbados cherry contains an astonishing 1,000 to 4,500 mg of Vitamin C per 100 grams of fruit—that is 20 to 30 times more Vitamin C than oranges . A single fruit can provide the entire daily adult requirement of Vitamin C .

• Grafted for Superior Quality: Our plants are grafted to ensure true-to-type fruit quality, earlier fruiting, and consistent, high yields—unlike seed-grown plants that can take years to mature.

• Proven in Nepal’s Climate: Barbados cherry thrives in tropical humid climates and has been successfully grown in South Asia . It is well-suited to Nepal’s terai and warm mid-hill regions.

• Multiple Harvests Per Year: Under favorable conditions, a Barbados cherry tree can produce 3 to 5 crops per year, typically from May to November, with the largest harvests during the summer season .

• Beautiful Ornamental Shrub: This plant features small pink flowers that appear periodically from April to October . The delicate foliage and bright red fruits add stunning ornamental value to any garden.

• Long Harvest Period: The fruits ripen about one month after flowering, and due to the plant’s long flowering period, you can enjoy fresh cherries over many months
