Miracle Fruit Trees – the most exciting edible plant you’ll ever grow! These healthy Miracle Fruit Trees (Synsepalum dulcificum) grown in large 3.5 x 8 inch nursery pots — much bigger and stronger than the tiny plants most sellers offer.

The Miracle Fruit Plant produces berries that contain miraculin, a natural protein that makes sour foods taste sweet for up to an hour. Eat one berry and then enjoy lemons like lemonade, limes like candy, sour pickles, grapefruit, and even tomatoes — all without sugar!

ATTENTION: These are young seedling trees. They typically begin flowering and fruiting in about a year. Images show mature plants; your trees will arrive without flowers or fruit.

Important: Do not order if temperatures in your area are below 50°F. We are not responsible for cold weather damage during shipping.

All orders shipped via USPS Priority Shipping (average 3-day delivery).

These starter plants are grown in larger nursery pots. A 3" x 8"-inch pot instead of a tiny 1.5 x 1.5 potted plant. More plant for your money!  ATTENTION: Plants may be sent without the pot with soil and roots carefully wrapped and secured for shipping.

Please Note: Select from drop down menu if you want multiple plants!
