The Barbados Gooseberry is a super rare and unique leafy cactus vine also known as Blade-apple Cactus, Lemonvine, or Rose Cactus. Careful they are thorny!  The leaves and fruit are both edible, containing high quantities of protein iron and other nutrients. Barbados Gooseberry fruit ranges from translucent white to pink/orange/ red and is about the same size and shape as a cherry. Flowers are white and creamy with a strong sweet fragrance.  The fruit has a flavor profile similar to Acerola Cherry but is more sweet and mellow.  Easy to grow from cuttings and can take over in tropical climates!
