Yellow Jamaican Cherry Tree - Muntingia calabura by Wellspring Gardens - Vibrant, Hardy, Ornamental, Sustainable, Easy-Care, Sweet-Fruited, Edible-Cherry, Backyard-Beauty - Starter Plant

My plans arrived yesterday and even though they spent a whole day in the mailbox they did really good. I was surprised how the soil was very moist, healthy with no pesky fungus gnats and both plants had some cute little 🍃green leafs. The stems looked healthy and in great shape. Sadly one plant lost a few leafs during the shipping, but that happens since plants are very sensitive. The condition of the plants look really good, and I feel like at this point if they don't make it, it will be because of the new soil, environment, and definitely the weather and not the supplier. Sometimes i read reviews where people get their plants in great shape, but later on the plants don't make it and they blame the business, but in all reality if the plant arrives healthy like mine did, it means the person who bought the plant did something wrong after arrival, the soil conditions, pests that come in most soils bought from the stores like fungus gnats. I'm very happy and satisfied and will purchase more plants from this place in the future. For the price, I think these are great investments. Hopefully my plants will adapt and thrive. 👏👍👍👍👍

Our Barbados Cherry tree has tripled in size since being planted last May. Not expecting to see fruit for a few seasons, so it is decorative for now. Very healthly tree👩‍🌾

The item arrived DOA. The leaves were all wilted and proceeded to all fall off in a quick matter of time leaving this little one with ZERO viable leaves. The soil was absolutely flooded when I opened the bag and I suspect that that had something to do with it. BE AWARE!!!! This is NOT a tree grown from seed. This is NOT a seedling. Upon inspection I discovered that this is simply a twig that was placed in rooting hormone that was coaxed along to shoot out some roots. More often than not this type of propgation does not survive depending on the species of plant. Even if id does you are growin from a BRANCH and the plant has real uphill battle. This is NOT a mature seeding! I feel absolutely scammed. Looking at the reviews of others I see that I was not the only one. What a disaster! I paid a lot of money for a twig. Again, I stress...this is not propagated from seed. This is simply a scion CUTTING. In layman's terms that is just a branch dipped with powder chemical (rooting hormone) to get it to grow. The item came infested with insects as well and should be garbage bound on arrival as not to infect the rest of my houseplants. What a failure! I am asking for a refund. For the all of the money to have to find out that you purchased a 3 inch size TWIG and not a tree that really is shocking. DOA and a horrible experience. I was a first time buyer from the seller and was skeptical at first, however, I decided to give it a go. Do I absolutely regret that. I buy many plants online and have vast experience with the purchase/shipping process, quality, handling, and honestly of the described plants orgins and conditions. I should state loudly that there are MANY other vendors out there that will sell you a true to form plant that from I read is double the size and for less money. Go somewhere else and save yourself some time, grief and aggravation!AVOID AT ALL COSTS AND DO NOT GET SCAMMED!

I was sent my cherry tree ot was tiny. Like tiny tiny like a twig cut off of a mother tree then rooted in water and put in some dirt. And a small twig at that. When it came it only had two leafs on it. I’ve had it under a plant light for two weeks now hoping it’ll grow. I guess it’s getting there. Slowly but surely It dies habe a few buds forming down the bottom of the stem Which is an odd spot for branches to be forming from the bottom of the tree but whatever. I’ll attach pics and have it sitting near my keruig machine for reference and I’m putting it near two other trees I got from another seller in the next pics. The one I got from this seller is the one with the pick in the plant that says Bermuda cherry fyi on the left hand side The ones I got from other sellers have tons more leaves on them and are doubling in size. While this one is yet to get any taller or any more leaves besides the two small buds coming from the bottom of tbe tree for some reason , that’s how you can tell it was cut from a large tree. A tree wouldn’t grow branches out from the very bottom of the tree I highly doubt it. Not with any of mine and I have many dwarf fruit trees , i have another cherry tree that’s about seven feet tall a peach tree a tangerine tree

I put it in a gallon pot the first day. Yesterday I finely put it in direct sun. I will leave it in the pot until it gets about 2 feet tall. It has grown about 6" since I've had it. I ordered a 2nd plant which took several days longer to arrive. The next day all the leaves fell off. I complained and made plans to ship it back, but a few days in the sun and new leaves appeared. Now it's doing fine. So if all the leaves fall off shortly after arrival, water it and put it in the sun for a few days before sending it back.

When the plant came it was looking good . But very small .I already have some new leaf .its doing very well

I recently planted the Red Jamaican Cherry from Wellspring Gardens, and it's been a delightful addition to my garden. This tree is not only visually stunning with its lush foliage, but it also produces an abundant harvest of sweet-tasting cherries. The quick-fruiting aspect is impressive; I was able to enjoy the fruits within a relatively short time. The cherries are delicious and make for a great snack right off the tree. I also appreciate its drought tolerance, which makes it easy to care for in various climates. Overall, this tree offers both ornamental beauty and a rewarding harvest. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to enhance their garden with a unique and fruitful plant!

I’m actually very very sad because I purchased this back in March and it’s now September 23rd I replanted the plant and hasn’t grown not one bit.. still has its 3 green leaves it came with… whatttt?!!! :(
