[edit] Blueberries phrase

Somebody had written in the article that the miracle fruit "grows well with blueberries." Not only is this vague (what does that even mean?), if the author meant to say that they grow well NEXT TO blueberries then this is incorrect, since blueberries are a temperate plant; they need winter chill to fruit, and in general won't do too well in the tropics. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.89.50 (talk) 22:17, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Climate

Also is the Pacific Northwest good enough climate for the fruit? i live in Bellingham Wa, close to canada, and would like to invest in a plant or seeds. --Cryotwin 07:33, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Different names

Does anyone know about the different botanical names for this plant? The following website states the name as Synsepalum Dulcificum. There is a picture of a published book with this title at this link. I don't know enough about it to research but wanted to draw attention to this incongruency. http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/plant/Miracle-Fruit.htm --Charangito 23:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Blogs/Forums in the external links

So this issue can be discussed properly I'm bringing this to the discussion page. Links to blogs and forums were removed, then re-added with the question as to why they shouldn't be there. Please see WP:EL links normally to be avoided #7 and #10. Also, Wikipedia is not a repository of links.

I am removing the links again. Gh5046 (talk) 00:02, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for clarifications. I still believe that the forum link is suitable though. Turkeyphant 00:27, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
