Botanical studies have suggested that this shrub or small tree in the family Malpighiaceae is probably native to the Yucatan. Also known to botanists as M. punicifolia and M. emarginata, its common names are Barbados or West Indian Cherry, Wild CrapeMyrtle and Manzanita. Malpighia glabra is grown in Brazil, Central America, Hawaii, Mexico, Puerto Rico, the Guianas, 2 and to a lesser extent in the frost-free regions of Florida, primarily in home gardens as a hedge. It is also cultivated in India. A mature tree can survive brief exposure to 28°F(-2.22°C). However, a young plant may die if the temperature goes below 30°F (-1.11°C). Its light requirements are full sun to partial shade, and it does best in a well-drained soil.
