Hi tobymv

I have a couple of Barbados Cherry bushes and they more or less flower and fruit through out the year. We have had a very mild winter and my large plant is in bloom right now. Often I have ripe fruit and blossoms at the same time.

Once the plant is established it grows fair quickly. I have had few problems with plant except I have had a couple different scales. I thinned it out and then I treated with Organocide and insecticidal soap a couple of times which took care of it.
