Surinam Cherry Tree Start

Surinam Cherry Tree (aka Pitanga or Brazilian Cherry) in a 1-gallon pot. It is currently 1-foot tall and would be much taller already but I pruned it several times last year to make it branch low so it's bushier when it gets big. This is a well-established tree start with a full root system in quality soil for 2 years (the small pot limits size). The fruits are rich in vitamin C, but aren't near as sweet as Bing Cherries, so Pitanga trees are grown mostly as ornamental trees. I included a photo of my tree showing the progress of a flower to fruit just to show how they look. The tree is NOT flowering now and probably won't flower until it is planted in a bigger pot or the ground. One photo shows my tree in the background, which is 7 feet tall and would be fuller if I didn't have to constantly trim it to fit within our patio screen. Just click on my account photo to see other plants for sale (more are added throughout Spring and Summer).
