I back this little guy a hang full of castings about a month ago and look at all these berry's ready for picking. I have already had so many we are starting to get bored with the berry's. LoL

LoL, just running out of things to try. I just tired some Tomato today, I thought it was a little weird. They work great with any kind of fruit and juice.

Those look good! Did you grow it from seed?

ooo no, I have not tried to get a seed to sprout yet. I was told they have a really short self life just like the fruit only a few days. I have a seedling that I got 2 year's ago that has pretty much done nothing. This bush I got last year from a local plant show, it was trucked up here from Pine Island in Homestead, FL. The bush is a slow grower but doing real nice.

Yeah, I've wanted to try those things out ever since I heard about it! I actually found out about it on CSI (believe it or not). Random, huh?

To be honest they really dont have much of a taste to them at all.

Mine have a sweetish taste but like Worm Farmer says they have little taste. The big surprise is how everything you eat or drink afterwards is different! I like to eat one then drink my morning coffee. :2239:

We did a bunch of fruit tasting with some Miracle fruit tabs on our last trip to Colombia.

It was fun to try it with fruit you don't find here, we did:
Curuba
Maracuya
Guananaba,
Guava Coronilla,
Lulo,
Most of which are very sour.
and some other things that you can find here, but those were the unusual ones.
That added some variety to the "normal" miracle fruit foods to taste.

A friend of mine from Colorado sent me some ripe fruits he grew. They are bland tasting but you pop one in mouth, spit seed out & swish. Then bite into a lemon or tart grapefruit & they taste sweet. It's really fun! Unfortunately the seeds I planted didn't sprout. I'd LOVE to have a plant.
