Miracle Fruit Tree Update!

I've been worried about this little guy. He hasn't been very happy since I got him, and I've been watching and waiting for some sign of life from the poor guy.

If you look at this photo, you'll see the sad old leaves that are cracking and just looking generally pathetic. But, if you look a little closer, you can see the new leaves starting to come out along the tops!
The instructions that were sent with this plant said not to repot it until there was new growth. I know it is time to move it, but it was so sickly for so long that I'm afraid to move it!

Miracle fruit, as I said in my previous post, is a small red berry that, after eating it, will make anything else you eat taste sweet for 15 minutes to an hour. It will take this little guy another year before it will produce any berries, but I feel much better about it now that the new leaves are coming out!

I hope it's starting to pull out of it for you with the new growth coming - that has to be a good sign. So it makes everything sweet for an hour. Hmmm Rhubarb? Onions? Might be a real experience! LOL

It looks like it's coming to life. I'd make darn sure there was plenty of new growth before I moved it for sure.
