Phyllanthus emblica (Amla Fruit)
« on: June 19, 2013, 05:31:15 PM »
The other name I see used with this is the Indian Gooseberry. I had someone talk to me about it the other day so I started looking at it. It is suppose to be very sour which at one time would have made me stay away from it. But Adam has me hooked on Miracle Berries sour fruits.
Is anyone growing this and is it worth growing?

I got a few seedlings runn'n...the tree is very versatile, cold and drought tolerant....they should taste awesomely with miracle berry.  ;)

There is another sp that should also be taken into consideration...Otaheite gooseberry-Phyllanthus acidus.
