Staking a claim to its own version of the beautiful and dainty cherry blossoms, Texas proudly boasts of the native, tough and unique dwarf Barbados cherry shrub. It produces small pink and white, slightly fragrant blooms similar to a crepe myrtle, from spring through the fall with small red berries that come along late in the blooming season. The berries are edible but somewhat tart and are also attractive to songbirds. The blooms are highly attractive to hummingbirds, bees and butterflies.
The dwarf Barbados cherry requires minimal care and maintenance and is drought tolerant once established. It grows from 3 to 4 feet in height and it makes a wonderful accent shrub for landscapes. Full to partial sun works best and it is adaptable to most soils but prefers a well-drained location with slightly dry soil.
