I have a barbados cherry plant . Last year, it gave lots of fruits . This year it flowered profusely then as soon as the fruits are formed, they all fell off . It's been flowered three times already and now it is going to flower again .

What should I do to keep the young fruits from falling off ?

Often associated with a lack of potassium, calcium, magnesium, and iron.

That sounds like me then . What kind of fertilizer contains those minerals? Pray tell!

Dolomite has calcium and magnesium. Something like Miracle Grow has a well rounded assortment of nutrients. K-Mag helps with most fruit trees.

Is your soil alkaline?
