Indian mulberry

Overview

Indian Mulberry (Morinda citrifolia) is a tropical evergreen shrub native to Southeast Asia and some parts of the Pacific. This species, also known as Noni, has oval-shaped, leathery leaves, white flowers, and mild-tasting edible fruits with a sour-sweet flavor. It's often used in herbal medicines due to its anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial properties. Its extract is rich in essential minerals and vitamins, and is believed to have many health benefits such as aiding digestion and boosting immunity. The root of this plant is also used to create a dye for textiles. Indian mulberry is tolerant of a range of drought and light conditions, making it an ideal choice for many home gardens.
