You know I wrote them three times Laaz and they did not email me back so I wasn't sure if I should order from them. I don't like that. If a company does business on the web they should handle email. IMO. I'm not selling now but I still answer all email for customer support. I support my customers for the life of the tree.

Noni... it's actually easy to grow from seed. Noni juice has many health benefits and is talked about in the book "Natural Cures" as seen on TV. The juice sells for a lot of money. It stinks when it's ripe and ready, taste like .... BAD unless you mix it with apple juice. I have been giving it to two dogs I have that were born with red mange and it works great. actually I give it to all my dogs (all rescued with problems) You can grow it under simple grow lights in containers. Chop it off to bush out and produce more. I take ripe fruit and put it in the juicer..a vitamixer.

I have a customer that buys the plants for his mom. She puts the leaves in alochol and and then rubs that on sore joints and swears by it.

I am not sure about the health benefits I just know I see a difference in my dogs and my mom has reported relief from her arthritis. I take all kinds of natural herbs and plants for over all health so I don't know if it's one thing or the other but it don't hurt.

It's a lot easier to grow the mangosteen and a whole lot cheaper.

20' tree!? wonder if it could be grafted to dwarf root stock and grown for house plant.. My dad swears by noni juice too.. I've never tried it.. bit to costly for me.. maybe if I had my own plant and own fruit...
If ya get plants growing.. maybe I could find something to swap ya for some bud wood to try and graft?

Just chop the top off and grow in a container. Meanwhile start up new plants from seeds. It takes a year for it to bear. It's like a weed which is why I find it so funny when they sell juice at gold prices.

I'm going to grow it in greenhouses and sell the live plants to stores and mail order. I am making a grow card for them too.
