Miracle Fruit

[Taylor]

I have a few Miracle Fruit seedlings if anyone wants to trade. For those who don't know, Miracle Fruit produces berries that cause sour foods (such as lemons and limes) subsequently consumed to taste sweet.

Really fun plant to add to any collection!

Where are you located, I'd like to get some...

I happen to have a tree that is full of fruit right now. Its related to the coffee tree and the fruit looks allot like coffee beans. I also know someone who sells the bushes. I am in the Cotui area.

So what's the name of this tree? In Spanish? In English? Anybody know?

Yeah I have been getting seeds and different plants in various stages of growth from Miracle Fruit Hut - Buy Miracle Fruit One of the Largest suppliers in the U.S and Internationally.

The benefit is that you can buy them 2 n a half years already grown which is helpful as they do not produce berries until that amount of time assuming you would like to experience the miracle fruit pretty much right away.

Neat, its active ingredient is called "miraculine", sounds like something out of a comic book.

Heard about this fruit, seen one. Why they call this miracle friut?

[Drake]

It miraculously transforms the taste of bitter fruits to sweet.

Drake: Maybe I'll look you up when I'm back down in Cotui area. Would love to have a couple of these for my house. My Grandpa is tending the house and he loves to grow different types of plants.
