Pixie Acerola is a fast-growing, compact shrub that produces small pink flowers followed by little red fruit. It handles summer heat well and enjoys regular watering during dry periods. Its smaller size makes it perfect for pots, small garden beds, or sunny patios.

Interesting Notes:

Acerola fruit is famous for having one of the highest concentrations of vitamin C of any fruit. The fresh berries can be eaten straight off the bush or blended into juices and smoothies.

This dwarf cultivar is a favourite for container gardening and fits easily into urban backyards.
