Scientific Name: Morinda citrifolia. Common name: Noni but is also known as the Indian Mulberry. It is a small shrub or tree that can grow up to 20' and produces many white flowers. Seed germination would take about 30-60 days or more, and fruiting could be attained at around 6 months. Used in the Pacific Islands for medicinal purposes since ancient times, young tender leaves were used to treat boils, cuts, inflammations and many other remedies to treat many other ailments. We must add that the Noni fruit when ripe is foul smelling and unpleasant. The plant would do okay in containers, preferably 5 gallons or larger (small containers would only make for small plants).
