Jamaican Cherry
Pollinator friendly.
The best fruit you probably never had!
Fast growing and can fruit within first year.
Leaves can be used to make a tea. Leaves and stems can feel sticky. Bark has white textured growths.
Loves full sun, won’t grow much in filtered shade.
Leaves will yellow if too much water/poor draining.
Subtropical, needs frost protection. Did not last multiple days in low 20s in December 2022 but survived hours in upper 20s previous year.
