Evergreen prostrate shrub to small tree with slightly leathery, ovate, grey-green deciduous leaves. The cherry is a round red stone fruit with three lobed stones and relatively little flesh.
When picking the dark red cherries, the gardening team often complain about the leaves of the acerola cherry as they cause itching.
The sour stone fruits high in vitamin C are used in our restaurant, made into ice cream or simply enjoyed straight from the tree.
