Miracle Fruit (Synsepalum dulcificum)
We've been experimenting with "Miracle Fruit" for a number of years and finally we're able to offer it so others may enjoy it too. The miracle is in the berry. Once you've eaten the small red fruit (about the size of a gumdrop), everything sour eaten afterwards tastes incredibly sweet, including sour citrus. From tropical West Africa, it flowers profusely with fruit setting usually during the summer months in northern climates. Slow growth is normal and for successful growth it must be planted in an acidic soil-mixture of half sphagnum peat moss and half perlite. This plant remains modest in size.
Hardy to Zone 10 and higher for outdoors.
Full sun, grows to 2-3' in container, minimum temperature 60°, intermittent bloomer.

Fantastic Plant |

Just arrived - beautiful specimen! |
| My bush just arrived, and Im very impressed with how big it is - around two feet tall! It looks like a proper little bush, not a sprig as I had feared, based on the 4-inch pot size. I can see several buds, so I am hopeful that there will be fruit within a few months! The quality of both the packing job and the plant itself leave me a very happy customer. |

Just had my first fruit! |
| I bought my plant over the summer and just tried my first fruit. It really was true! I was able to bite a slice of lemon and it tastes just like lemonade! I cant wait for my next fruit which is just starting to turn red. |
