Barbados Cherry is not usually considered an herb (most people grow it as an ornamental), but the berries are considered an excellent source of vitamin C for health. Very cold winters are a limitation for growing the plant, but here mine have never died even though I'm in the hills and it freezes in the winter. It does die back a bit sometimes. The plant originally came from the caribbean, but can be grown where I live. I use this website sometimes because it's specific to my state.

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
