Yup bought that tree thinking it was a “southern cherry tree” turns out it was a Barbados cherry tree we had a hard frost and it literally died in the ground even whilst being covered had a pretty blossom but would not recommend for South Texas 9a

Literally half the house plant at my Walmart are labeled “assorted foliage” like what the heck does that mean. They aren’t even remotely the same plants.

I am so glad I saw this video. I bought this cherry from LOWES last week and I was gonna go back and get some more because I have great reviews on Lowe. I think it’s all false based on what you say. Looks like it’s not going to survive in North Carolina, winter, thank you for the information.

Can’t imagine a bigger red flag than a plant tag not having the botanical name on it

I hate when plants are mislabled and/or do not include any sort of scientific name. Especially when im trying to find native species to my state for my pollinators garden, but only the very vauge laymen name is listed (which could be incorrect to begin with) so for all I know it could be a species from the other side of the country.

I do like a good Barbados cherry, but 100% i think it can only survive in really tropical climates

Dewar puts metal tags on the plant that list the type.

Yup if the barcode tag doesn’t even give the plants scientific name or even its bare botanical name it’s a pass don’t know what problems its roots are hiding and can bring to your garden either better to go local for shrubs and trees than box stores (most local give better deals since we all know it’s more beneficial for more of a kind than one)

Even the leaves on the picture are different from the plant.

I hate it when they don’t print the variety or even on the tag. Ughhh. Cherry, pomegranate etc….

So weird, last year they actually labeled it with Barbados. I thought it was odd they just said “cherry tree” this year. I won’t buy if I don’t know the variety, that’s crazy. Especially bc things like blueberries need companions and there are different types that won’t cross pollinate.

Immediately I was like, “Hey that looks like my Barbados cherry tree I just got…. Oh, that’s because it is.” 😂 I just barely got into gardening so I’m still learning.

i've got 10 of these for my food ecosystem I'm building in Plymouth and every one of them died but I had one black cherry tree that I had planted with them in the black cherry did fine as come back through the winter so I just planted 10 black cherry trees replace the tropical trees that I shouldn't have put in zone eight A. ever

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is intentional. I could see growers and box stores labeling them ambiguously so when customers in temperate climates plant them and they don’t overwinter, they’ll come to buy another the following spring thinking it’s their fault. I could also see them using the excuse that they’re an ornamental annual like how Home Depot tends to with birds of paradise and other tropicals where I live

should be a tag around it that looks like a coin that has been stamped so you can find out which one it is

I live in zone 10b and I’ve seen big box stores sell blueberries for zone 3. I know that’s zero chance those plants will make it yet alone fruit. I always feel so bad for the unaware buyer who probably will think they have a black thumb when they were doomed to fail.
