Barbados Cherry, Malpighia glabra. It's a perennial evergreen or deciduous shrub, depending on the winter climate. It can be 3 to 4 feet or as even as much as 9 feet tall. Sally Wasowski says it's evergreen above 25 degrees and can be grown as far north as Austin. Otherwise, it can be grown in a pot and protected during winter. The pink to whitish flowers are lovely and the foliage is also very attractive. It makes small sweet red fruits, which are eaten by wildlife, in many cases.
