The fruit can be used to enhance the flavor of grapefruit, strawberries, and lychees. The fruit also acts as an appetite stimulant for chemotherapy patients.

Can I grow this tree in a container?

Most fruit trees can be grown in a container.  Follow the recommendations below... 

  1. Start small with a tree in a 3 or 7 gallon container 
  2. Every 6-10 months transplant the tree to a higher capacity container 
  3. The ideal container size to grow fruit trees is 10-15 gallons, so you can move it indoors during the winter months, if necessary 
  4. Make sure your container has draining  holes on the bottom of the container, so that any excess water can drain
How to plant this tree on the ground...

Follow the simple instructions below to plant your tree on the ground... 

  1. Choose a sunny area for planting with about 15 feet radius of clear space 
  2. Dig a hole on the ground... twice the height of the container, if possible 
  3. Do not mix any potting soil, manure, fertilizer or anything with the soil when you plant
  4. Take the tree out of the container by laying in the side and slipping the container off, if may be necessary to push and tap the bottom of the plastic container 
  5. It is usually necessary to put some of the removed dirt back into the hole
  6. Bury the root ball so the soil level is the same as it was in the container 
  7. Leave a mound around the tree for form a basin, fill with water, washing the soil into any empty pockets around the root ball
  8. Now is the time to fertilize. Be extra careful because trees are very susceptible to burning with excessive fertilizing
  9. Recommended fertilizer: 8-3-9 (or similar), with manganese, iron and zinc. Scatter one level tablespoon per foot of tree height (do not apply fertilizer if the tree is flowering or during cold spells of temperature below 60 degrees)
  10. You can spread mulch around the base of the tree, but leave the trunk area uncovered so the tree can breath. Mulch helps to retain humidity

From good to bad now WONDERFUL

This plant came in looking great. Didn’t take it out of the container, but it started to look bad after a week I decided it may be root bound and transplanted it in the same spot now it’s looking wonderful and I see flower buds starting again I’m very happy.

Plants arrived safely in good health

Silly Fedex, one plant arrived 2 days before the other despite being shipped at the same time. The first arrival had just a few bent leaves and otherwise was perfectly happy. The second plant dropped a few leaves but the rest of the leaves are fine and both 30 inch plants seem happy. You would not have guessed by appearance that they just traveled all the way across country (of course I made sure to give them their preferred conditions and this is not the super hot season). The first one is already pushing out blooms after being here just a few weeks. Plants are at correct size, reasonably bushy and with good amount of roots. I am very satisfied.

Smaller plant and rootball

I ordered many trees including a miracle berry bush. Miracle berry was supposed to be in a 7g pot.
When I repotted it it had a really small rootball and the rootball perfectly fit in 3g pot. it looked like someone repotted 3g plant in a 7g pot to sell for a higher price.
If I wasn’t repotting it I won’t have known about it.
Bit disappointed other than that plant was healthy.

Nice sized tree

Arrived quickly and well packaged. Tree was good sized, healthy roots, and lush green leaves. I was pleasantly surprised and would order with confidence again.
