Anyone out there growing Noni?

BitterSweet · 07-20-2009, 12:06 PM

I recently recieved my first Morinda Citrifolia from Logee's, in excellent condition. =) I'm wondering if anyone out there has any tips from personal experience (or not, perhaps you've heard through the grape-vine?) on what they do best in? I hear they adapt to almost anything, but maybe they do best in something specific. Any constructive comments would be fantastic and welcome! Thanks =)

I don't think that they can be very particular - they grow wild everywhere around here - even down by the beach.

Agreed, I've seen them growing in everything from beach sand to pure lava rock, they don't seem to care where they are growing.

Weeds here too; I'm currently fighting with them over ownership of the Chirimoya patch. Rocks, sun, shade, sand, black loam, salt soils, swamped soils, makes no difference. They're as noxious (in more than just the weedy sense) on the mainland as they are on Galápagos.

Yep Lorax!! Nearly as bad as caster oil plants!! After 2 years seeds are still germinating where I don't want them and I don't want any of them!!

Strange that I've never seen one.
