Barbados cherry contains more vitamin C than any other commonly grown fruit — by a wide margin, roughly thirty times an orange. The fruit is bright red, juicy, and pleasantly tart, and a healthy plant produces several crops a year.

It is also a tidy, attractive evergreen shrub with pink flowers that takes shearing well, so it works as a hedge that happens to feed you.
