A pic of the plant and another showing the juice staining my hand. It isn't apparent from the pic but the plant has a bushier habit. I don't know if this is a result of growing in a very dry climate. I will have to visit the area after some heavy rains, whenever that may be, to see if the fruit gets any bigger.There are some imperfections on the skin but this fruit was not spoiled.
It took seven years but I found another tree. The first one was destroyed by Hurricane Maria. This one produces darker fruits with darker flesh. Staggered germination just over two months of red flesh acerola. A unique variation of acerola endemic to Vieques.Leaf variation Red flesh on the left, regular acerola on the right
looks like it could be a different species...do you guys know guachocote or m.mexicana?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cMf0XPzW34&t=101sreally interested in that one
