The berry is also known as '''Miracle Berry''', '''Magic Berry''', or '''Flavor Berry'''. The plant grows in [[Shrub|bushes]] up to {{convert|20|ft|m}} high in its [[native]] [[habitat]], but does not usually grow higher than ten feet in [[Tillage|cultivation]], and it produces two crops per year, after the end of the [[rainy season]]. It is an [[evergreen]] plant that produces small red berries, with [[flower]]s that are white and which are produced for many months of the year. The [[seed]]s are about the size of [[coffee bean]]s.<br /> <br /> ==Cultivation==<br /> The plant grows best at a [[pH]] as low as 4.5 to 5.8, in an environment free from frost and in partial shade with high humidity. Without the use of [[plant hormone]]s the seeds have a 24 % sprouting success rate. &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.asnapp.org/PDF/GroupReport2002.pdf ASNAPP, University of Stellenbosch, South Africa, Annual Report 2002, p. 10]&lt;/ref&gt; The plants first bear fruit after growing to approximately 2-3 years. &lt;ref&gt;[http://www.toptropicals.com/html/toptropicals/plant_wk/synsepalum.htm Featured plant - a special for your collection&lt;!-- Bot generated title --&gt;]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{reflist|2}}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Stevia]]<br /> *''[[Thaumatococcus daniellii]]''<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> *[http://www.crfg.org/pubs/ff/miraclefruit.html Miracle fruit facts]</div>
