Variegated Tahitian NONI A.K.A.: Great Morinda, Indian mulberry, Mengkudu (Malaysia), Beach Mulberry, Tahitian Noni, Cheese Fruit. Morinda Citrifolia
You are bidding on one live potted plant with vigorous root system, 16-20 inches tall with full leaf born and growing in Mini-treepot.    Ships in tree-pot with USDA certification.
	The Variegated Tahitian Noni is a small evergreen shrub or tree, usually less than 30 feet, is a member of the Rubiaceae plant (coffee) family. The conspicuous large strongly variegated green shiny leaves are generally paired, except where forming fruit. Thick and oval in shape, these leaves are deep veined, short-stemmed and 8-14 inches or longer.   Noni Fruit is a small greenish white tropical fruit about the size of a potato, high in antioxidants, and is primarily found in the South Pacific. For centuries, the Noni Fruit has been an anti-oxidant rich resource considered to have healthful benefits by generations of Tahitians. It has carbohydrates, dietary fiber, protein, and is low in fats. It contains about one half of the vitamin C of a navel orange. Noni Fruit is, in fact, roughly the nutritional equivalent of an orange.        The fruits resemble those of Ulu, Hawaiian Breadfruit, only smaller. The surface is divided into somewhat warty polygonal pitted cells. The noni fruit begins green, turns yellow, and as mentioned, has an unpleasant, insipid, foul or fetid odor, especially as it ripens to whiteness and falls from the tree. Noni fruit powder is high in carbohydrates and dietary fiber. According to the College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources at the University of Hawaii at Manoa, a 100g sample of the powder contains 71% carbohydrate and 36% fiber. The sample also contained 5.2% protein and 1.2% fat. Morinda Citrifolia

	The flowers form in globose heads, about an inch long and bearing many small white flowers. The flower heads grow to become mature fruit, 3 to 4 inches in diameter.           Tahitian Noni grows in shady forests as well as on open rocky or sandy shores. It reaches maturity in about 18 months and then yields fruit every month throughout the year. The Tahitian Noni is very versatile. Salt and drought tolerant, Tahitian Noni can be grown in poor soil conditions.

Only Domestic Shipping and Handling includes USDA Certification. We ship Seeds Internationally.   All International shipments are at Buyer's Risk. Please spend no more more than you can lose!      Proper Permits and Documents are the BUYER's responsibility. Please request any documents prior to shipping.          For foreign customers, please check your laws concerning permitting and customs, additional shipping and handling costs may apply.          The additional charge for any Phytosanitary Certificate is not included in this offer.    INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS is available only under these conditions!       All international orders are shipped at the BUYER's RISK  (shipped with or without documents) and no refunds or replacements are offered for Dead On Arrival, loss, confiscation, Customs Seizure, unanticipated charges, etc.	Payment             We accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the mail.       Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for discounts.         We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you.  This can only be done at the Dept. of Agriculture.  If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.          Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to eBay.   COMBINED SHIPPING POLICY INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING is not included in this offer.   See INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS         We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.    This policy is good for all items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY. Payment must be received within 7 days of the auction ending. Combined Discounts Won Auctions      For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total Shipping and Handling charges.          As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection, proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I can’t really change any of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.
my dog Taz will fetch your email to me If you are dissatisfied with the item, please contact me    before leaving a negative or neutral comment. I want you to be satisfied. Mahalo iâ `oe no ke kipa `ana mai. E kipa mai hou! Mahalo & Aloha!!
