This small shrub has arching dark brown stems with green leaves and pink flowers followed by red berries throughout the year. Excellent bonsai or house plant specimen. The creeping stems and sometimes exposed roots can create really interesting shapes. The Dwarf Barbados Cherry is a small tree or shrub that grows up to 15 feet in height in the dry deciduous forest and can be found growing wild and under cultivation on the sandy soils throughout Northeast Brazil. It is native to the West Indies and is also found in northern South America, Central America and Jamaica. Acerola is the fruit of the tree. It is bright red and 1 to 2 cm in diameter with several small seeds and has an appearance similar to the European Cherry. Acerola is also known as "Antilles Cherry" or "Barbados Cherry." The mature fruits are juicy and soft with a pleasant tart flavor and they contains about 80% juice and a large amount of vitamin C as well as iron, calcium and phosphorous.

Where can I go to learn more on how to properly care for this plant? I would love to have it produce a lot of fruit. I live in the Phoenix, AZ area.

I would like one of these to grow inside, however I have dogs. Can you please tell me if these plants are toxic happen to bite it? They have never done any such thing to any of my other plants. But the plants and / or trees I have growing in the house I have made sure they weren't toxic should they happen to do such thing. Thank you very much... : )
