Indian Mulberry 20 Seeds Morinda citrifolia

Morinda citrifolia, commonly known as noni, Indian mulberry, or cheese fruit, is a small evergreen tree or large shrub native to Southeast Asia, Australasia, and the Pacific Islands, and widely cultivated throughout the tropics for its medicinal, nutritional, and cultural importance. It typically grows 3–8 meters tall with a straight trunk and an open, spreading crown, bearing large, opposite, glossy dark green leaves that are elliptic to ovate and can reach 20–40 cm in length. The plant produces distinctive, tubular white flowers embedded in a rounded inflorescence, which later develops into an irregular, lumpy, yellowish-white multiple fruit with a strong, pungent odor when ripe. Morinda citrifolia fruits and leaves have been used for centuries in traditional Polynesian, Asian, and indigenous medicine systems, particularly for treating infections, inflammation, pain, and digestive disorders. The species is remarkably adaptable, thriving in a wide range of tropical environments including coastal sands, volcanic soils, limestone substrates, and degraded lands, and showing tolerance to salinity, drought, and periodic flooding. Flowering and fruiting occur year-round in favorable climates, providing a continuous harvest. Today, noni is commercially grown for juices, powders, and herbal supplements, and it is also valued as a hardy, low-maintenance plant for tropical gardens and agroforestry systems.
