My jamaican cherry tree has finally taken off... Growing like crazy but still small with about 10 cherry already. I'm excited about this tree. Praying for long and successful life with this baby

Thank you for describing the leaves and the bark! Bought 2 last year from a nursery in Winter Haven, FL. Only one survived a hurricane. Very fast growers though! Overwintered indoors. Thought the fuzzy bark was fungus or bugs of some sort. Nursery was no help when I asked about it. No website mentions the sticky leaves (which I noticed) and the fuzzy bark so thank you! Also the partial shade. Think I scorched mine.

Thanks! Yes, I love that tree. I now have 3! The Jamaicans use the wood to smoke meats! They bounce right back, but are a short lived tree. Good to have some little ones ready to replace the bigger ones. I would think of this tree more like a forage tree, year round things to harvest, fruit, wood, chop and drop.
