Have heard some cool things about this plant and wanted to be able to impress any mates who come to visit.
WOLLONGBAR, NSW
Miracle Fruit
I had heard of the Miracle fruit, and after talking with someone who has one growing I decided I must try one as well!. I received my plant in excellent condition in March 2023, have just got the keys to my new home so will be planting my Miracle fruit in my new garden. It has flourished in the large pot I placed it in, and I'm sure will love being planted into the ground. I look forward to trying the fruit for myself some time soonish.
RUTHERFORD, NSW
Miracle Fruit
my tree arrived safe and sound. I repotted it and it is growing slowly. it's leaves began to go a little red but that was resolved by a drink of worm tea :) I'm so impatient for it to start fruiting
Miracle Fruit
Great party trick - try with crappy red wine and the wine will taste like high-end port. Please share your fruit with anyone going through chemotherapy, it helps them actually eat. Shame more people (drs) don't know this.
Miracle Fruit
I live in Adelaide so need to keep my plant indoors. I pollinate by using a very small, soft paint brush and dab each flower. First fruit this year after a 4 year wait.

I had a very sucessful miracle fruit bush but I gave it away to a local mango farm that also runs a cafe/ice cream shop as a tourist attraction. I thought it might be interesting for them to show their visitors.

Growing quite well. During Melbourne's winter I have brought it inside and stopped watering it, and it is coping. Apparently likes acidic conditions so it is growing in a camelia potting mix. I periodically add coffee grounds to the top of the po...

After 5 years I finally have some berries. Tried it the other day with lemon, grapefruit and other fruits. Also tried it with black coffee. As expected all the biterness was gone and everything tasted very sweet.
Miracle Fruit
My tree is 9 years old and grows in the garden near a crepe myrtle - allowing it morning sun I feed it fruit tree fertilizer 3-4 times a year but is a thirsty tropical plant and loves frequent waterings. Plentiful berries (100 or so) 3 times a year
EARLVILLE, QLD, Australia
This is a freaky plant, I love it. A miracle fruit for diabetics, after I tried one i had to have one straight away. The fruit basically blinds your sour taste buds making sour things taste sweet,you can eat a lemon or lime without screwing your f...

a real talking point. Really works as it should! Loves heat so grows well in summer but struggles with Perth winter. I treat it as a deciduous tree in Perth. Fruits every year though. Semi-shade required in Perth. These fruits really enhance th...

Received my plant last year and has been in a pot under my back verandah (receiving afternoon sun) ever since and growing slowly but surely. Can now see flower buds forming all over it. Very exciting to see! Will boost with azalea fertilizer in spring.

I planted on the West side of the house. Leaves started curling and looking very sunburnt. So 2 weeks ago replanted the miracle bush into another pot under the front veranda; East side. It now looks very happy and showing new growth :)

This is my newest plant. I love the novelty of this plant and am curious to try it.
Bundaberg, Qld, Australia
Mine is a tiny little plant which has suffered from being appetising to geese. Virtually no growth since being planted two years ago. Now protected from attack. More of a novelty plant really. Good for diabetics with a sweet tooth apparently. No fruit ...

Plant doing very well in a narrow but deep pot .I'm in Canberra so brought it in over winter and put it under a HPS lighting. Plant too young to fruit yet. Yates Osmocote slow release pelets seem to do the trick. Use Azalea potting mixture.

You can hand pollinate this fruit by using your nails to brush against the flower gentally. White pollen will fall on the nails and used to wipe the stigma of many flowers. You can tell the flowers are open as there is a very strong perfume that wafts.

I'm not sure but i think these are wind pollinated. Perhaps if you gently shake your plants when they're in flower, you may have more berries. Then again, maybe not.That toothbrush method sounds successful too.

I can't wait to play tricks on a mate when they come over for a beer.I only wish I bought it through Daleys, as I got it posted to me for $28 and it is way to small. We could have got it through Daleys and it would have cost much the same but we would ...

My plant is indoors in a pot, so insect pollination is not an option. Only ever had 1-2 random berries. A couple of weeks back I tried 'buzz pollination' with an electric toothbrush (like with tomatoes) and now I've got about 40 berries coming.

Not much to tell at this point. I have three in hydroponics and three in pots. Apparently they are very slow growers and conflicting evidence about cold tolerance. I'm keeping them warm to be safe.

I grow this in a pot and bring it inside in winter. The fruit is amazing - turning everything you eat sour into delicous sweetness. Lat night i tried some red wine after eating a miracle fruit and it tasted like port!!

I had mine growing initially along the border line, fencing. Then I decided to transferred it between 2 foxtail palms, with morning sunshine, lots of top soil & slow release fertizers = hundred of fruits!

I had mine growing in a pot for 6 months inside...only one fruit so far,the buds would just die before blooming. I added Miracid too. I searched and finally was told that problem was 'pollinating'! Here in Wisconsin, do I have to wait till next spring?

How to store miracle fruit.U can use thick and fit plastic tupperware, put in aroung the 'very old' newspaper in and wrap the miracle fruit with other very old newspaper, put in freezer vegetable section. I'm sure u can save itu until 30 days.

I mix peat moss old fruit and vegetable peices and daily coffee grounds to make the soil to grow the seed we get from our older plants. The new baby seeds do wonderfully and the older plants give 10Xs more fruit.

Growing great in a pot in Wollongong, surviving the winter without any problems. It does better in a partially shaded spot.
