I have been thinking about getting a miracle fruit tree. Does anyone have any suggestions or opinions on the subject?

Its a novelty item. They make everything sweet, somethings to the point of disgusting... Never drink a beer or soda after eating one.

As far as the tree itself, they are true tropicals and can not take any frost.

Sounds cool to me.. where can I get several?

I have to second the remark about beer.
I blame CitrusJoe for ruining a perfectly good 16 oz Fat Tire a full hour after trying one of his miracle fruits.
I had actually forgotten about eating the MF and it took me a while to figure out why my beer was so aweful.
Come to think of it, would make a good practical joke next St. Patrick's day.

It's cool to try once, but that was enough for me. Citrus and strawberries tasted good, but everything else I tried was pretty bad. You can buy the tablets on ebay for pretty cheap if you don't want to bother with the tree. The tablets actually work very well.

Interesting comments on the beer issue -- I've heard that their original use by humans, in their native west Africa, was to make the home-made banana beer palatable (It's apparently very sour). So you chew a miracle fruit and then you have your banana beer.
