Small evergreen tree or shrub with angled branches and large, ovate, opposite, leathery and shiny dark green leaves. The flowers appear in bunches, each of which forms a bumpy, elliptical compound stone fruit up to 12 cm long. When ripe this is white to slightly transparent with yellow, warty calyx remains and ovate stones.
The noni – extolled as a health-bestowing miracle fruit – excels at one thing: stinking. The leaves can be dried, rolled and smoked to open up the respiratory tract and sinuses.
We would like to extract the yellowish-red dye obtained from the roots and use it to dye fabric, as is traditionally done on the island of Timor. We let the nonis that fall to the ground germinate so we can offer these popular seedlings for sale.
