I planted the seed in a pot on the countertop and noticed today that it sprouted. These are very slow growing plants, so it will take years to produce fruit.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qD6Wazfk5Yw/SiVjaWfAQkI/AAAAAAAAKvM/npPPK2MkEgI/s1600-h/IMG_7495.JPG"></a> <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qD6Wazfk5Yw/SiVkVBsDKlI/AAAAAAAAKvc/qjskL1-uu3o/s1600-h/IMG_7495.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342786845338184274" style="WIDTH: 290px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_qD6Wazfk5Yw/SiVkVBsDKlI/AAAAAAAAKvc/qjskL1-uu3o/s400/IMG_7495.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Below is the third berry. I gave the second to a friend and it totally messed up her happy hour. She made a limeade-rum drink and could not drink it because it was so sugary. I think I'll give this one to my Mom. She has been wanting to try it for a while.<br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qD6Wazfk5Yw/SiVjavdHsdI/AAAAAAAAKvU/mXtPMTS57e8/s1600-h/IMG_7502.JPG"></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qD6Wazfk5Yw/SiVkbfmQOjI/AAAAAAAAKvk/z_Q_SSdkpPY/s1600-h/IMG_7502.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342786956446153266" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_qD6Wazfk5Yw/SiVkbfmQOjI/AAAAAAAAKvk/z_Q_SSdkpPY/s400/IMG_7502.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Something I noticed...people are often leary about trying the fruit. The general perception is that MF is some type of new genetically engineered fruit that people should not be eating. This is not the case<br /><br /><div style="CLEAR: both"><a href="http://picasa.google.com/blogger/" target="ext"><img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; BACKGROUND: 0% 50%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial" alt="Posted by Picasa" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif" align="middle" border="0" /></a></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><p><a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/DaniellesGardenBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"><img src="http://www.feedburner.com/fb/images/pub/feed-icon16x16.png" alt="" style="vertical-align:middle;border:0"/></a>&nbsp;<a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/DaniellesGardenBlog" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml">Subscribe in a reader</a></p><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2932214561355159990-4316410603966162211?l=www.daniellecopeland.com' alt='' /></div>ldybughttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14112638800254846330noreply@blogger.com5
