The Yellow Jamaican Cherry Tree (Muntingia calabura) is named for berries that look like yellow cherries and taste like nature's cotton candy. When mature, it fruits abundantly, quickly, and year-round. It is known by many different names, such as strawberry tree (since its leaves look like a strawberry plant), Panama berry tree, cotton candy berry tree, and jam fruit tree. There is also a Red Jamaican cherry variety that produces red berries. Both types look the same, have the same care needs, and taste similarly amazing.

Had a stem that was hair like with a couple of leaves. The stem broke immediately. Could only survive in a hot house not ready to sell. Looks dead now. Wellsprings wants you to jump thru hoops to make it right.
