Miracle Berry

If you just saw it on tv well I would say tokyo.
I have tried some berries in the past and yes I have had some other miracles happen LOL

Gardener, whats it look like?

I'd like something that does the opposite. Might help to cut down the weight in the 4by :)))))))

Gardener,
You don't say where you are located.. Is there a (plant) nursery near you that specialises in exotic fruits?? I know that there are some nurseries that do/did have the potted plants...

I had known about this berry for some time, & a few years ago commented on it to my family, & expressed an interest in locating seeds (or a potted plant)...
Thought no more about it, 'till one day my daughter (& SIL) came by with one only potted Miracle Fruit plant, which they'd spotted at a nursery here in Toowoomba...

Had it a few years now, & it's very slow growing, & hasn't flowered yet, so I dunno how long it'll be 'till I get a crop of them there Miracle Berries...

I can tell you though, that it doesn't like the cold weather!! (but it's clinging tenaciously to life;-))

Hi Gardener

Hope these sites help.....if you contact a good nursery they should be able to get one in for you?

Hi Gardener,

will have to check but a friend of mine used to have one at his back door (I suspect it was used with dodgy home brew)
He is a generous bloke so will see if i can get some seeds.

Thanks for all the replies. I'm in Brissie. I'm a bit the same, the Miracle Fruit was a distant memory until I saw a segment on tellie about it. Now I think my kids would get a kick out of it. We have quite a garden - mostly edible plants and herbs and I'm keen to add it to the collection! Let me know if you can send me any seeds. Thanks all!

This is funny , but not at the time . I have a small miracle berry in a pot out the back . A couple of weeks ago i said to the wife do you want to try a berry and you can eat a lemon like its an orange . My wife did and she thought it was great . Later on that day my wife reminded me that it was our wedding anniversary (in trouble again) and we are going out to a restaurant for lunch while the kids are at school . How long does this damn thing take to wear off . We got to the restaurant and my wife ordered a lovely meal which she couldnt eat any of and boy was i embarrased and in trouble again .

Thanks Troopyman!
I will investigate & will definately take caution with the effects of the berry!!! That was a good story!
