Sherbet Berry is indigenous to Southeast Asia from Pakistan to Cambodia where it is well-known and cultivated. The berries (or phalsa) range in size from 1/4 to 1/2 inch in diameter. They can be eaten fresh or can be made into a tart, thirst-quenching beverage. A great indoor or outdoor plant. Scientific name: Grewia asiatica

We sell baby plants

Wellspring Gardens is the starter plant, AKA “baby plant” shop. We just get you started, so you get all the credit for raising your plants under your green thumb.

How tall are baby plants?

We aim to ship your plants when they’re 3-8” tall, though we often ship them taller than that.

What determines whether I get a 3-, 6-, or even 18-inch-tall plant?

The exact size of the plant we send you is variable on the time of year and how long we've been growing it out.
