Find Your Growing Zone!

The Noni Tree (Morinda citrifolia) is a fantastic ornamental tree with unique fruit and hardy adaptability for those lucky enough to live in a warm to hot growing zone! Both fruit and seeds are eaten and even the leaves are used as a green vegetable! How about that for a double-duty landscaping edible tree?

A multi-stemmed ornamental in the Coffee family, these are found in their native habitats along sandy shores and coastlines. The large tropical green foliage and branching growth makes for a very pretty tree! The tiny star-shaped white blossoms are a major draw for pollinators and appear in clusters and will be a favorite to your local butterflies!

The white fruit are glossy and like Mulberries, giving rise to its other name - Indian Mulberry. Noni are traditionally medicinal and edible plants throughout their native Hawaii and Pacific Islands, even reaching Australia. While not particularly enjoyed here because of the pungent fruit, (almost foul-smelling to some), it is a staple in many parts of the world.

Planting and Application:

Noni, or Cheese Fruit, can be used juiced, fresh eaten, added to salads or cooked into curry or stewed. The seeds have been roasted and eaten too! Even if you don’t like the fruit, the tree is a very lovely tropical specimen and shade tree.

Similar looking to Citrus trees, these broadleaf evergreens create lush screening and privacy in a hurry. The fruit looks a bit like a green pinecone that ripens to a translucent white fruit to create food forests and edible accents in the hedge or border. Large enough to cast dense shade at maturity, Noni are beautiful unique specimen plants for your garden!

White Star-Shaped Blossoms for Pollinators

Great Specimen, Hedge & Edible Accent
Earthy, Citrusy & Unique Flavor

#ProPlantTips for Care:

The Noni tree can tolerate a wide range of soils, any well-drained medium works for these plants, including saline, pumice, sand and drought. Water regularly for the healthiest-looking trees.

Tolerant of Salt & Drought Once Established
Loves Fertile Well-Drained Soil
Provide Protection from Strong Wind
Handles Full Sun to Full Shade, But Fruit & Flowers Best in Sun
