Barbadoes Cherry Plants/Trees Question

Snookie · 05-06-2013, 06:38 PM

Talk to me please....:}

I have one surviving Barbadoes Cherry plant and want to transplant it into a LARGE pot cuz it often times gets below 27 degrees here in Lizard Creek

Will they produce in a large pot if babied and taken care of?

Thanks in advance

Yes in a 12" pot

I received it in a 4" pot last spring and it has grown some. I want to place it in a permanate pot since the weather here gets below freezing.

Keeping it in a pot will allow mw to move it inside during the cold month's

Any suggestions would be great

Thanks
Snook

Yes, no problem, they even make nice fruiting bonsais !
Just be careful of the rain: if the delicate flowers fall, no fruits. Maybe keep it under a roof or something and water it at the foot during the flowering.

I just repotted my sole surviving Barbados Cherry in a larger pot this week so we'll see how she grows lol

Peace B with U!

I can verify that. Tony let me sample a few of those cherries on his plant in the little pot. I have two in 7 gallon pots that have grown and flowered fine, but never set fruit. I don't think that has anything to do with them being in pots. I think I just don't have enough pollinators in my yard. Need more bees.

Did you start yours from seed or did you purchase it already growing? If you purchased it already growing, can I ask where you purchased it from?

venturabananas · 05-20-2013, 11:44 AM

I purchased mine as rooted cuttings. One from Logee's and the other from Wellspring Gardens.

Rodger D on Wellspring Gardens

That's were I got my Barbados Cherry plants

Seems like tonight it has dozens of pink/light purple either flowers or something on it.

Anyone else experiencing that sort of thag?:}

Tampa-K · 05-22-2013, 08:58 PM

I got mine from wellsprings last year and it is full of flowers and I have my first fruit.

Last year I had flowers but no fruit, so this year I have been hand pollinating the flowers and I now have my first fruit.

And yes it is growing in a 14" pot.

venturabananas · 05-23-2013, 10:00 AM

Nice work Tampa-K. I guess I'm going to have to play honey bee for mine, too, and try some hand pollinating.

A small brush works better

Funny guy, Tony. I've been using the highly sophisticated finger tip or q-tip method. But I did just buy a small brush to try to pollinate my cherimoya. Maybe it'll get some use on the Barbados cherry, too.

Cool thanks for the info:}

Hey if anyone needs some bugs let me know, never seen so many different bugs before. We have the good, the bad and plenty of the uglies, just pay the postage or if you re closed enough we will let them fly over.
