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.
