Malpighia glabra 'Fairchild' 
- Acerola, Dwarf Barbados Cherry 
- 6R - $7.00
 
The Barbados Cherry is the source of Acerola, a fruit with a high content of Vitamin C.  While the standard form can reach over 8' high, this form stays under 2' and spreads by underground stems to form tight mounds of small leaves.  Bears small, pink flowers from April until the first hard freeze.  Grows in full sun to half-day sun.  Looks best if given a deep watering every two weeks during a dry summer. 

(Feed with 3 Agriform 21-gram, 2-year fertilizer tablets at the bottom of the hole at planting time.)
