THIS VANILLA VINE IS TAKEN FROM A 10 YEAR OLD VANILLA BEAN VINE

IT WILL FRUIT WITHIN 1 TO 2 YEARS INSTEAD OF 7 YEARS.

The vanilla is a flowering vine of the orchid family. It has unique growth characteristics and requires a tree or pole support to reach heights. A grown up vine bears many deep, orange-yellow, trumpet-shaped flowers. At its natural habitat, these flowers open up just for one day and if they aren't pollinated by bees or birds need to be hand pollinated.

Vanilla bean is used for flavouring in for sweet dishes and drinks such as smoothies and has a lot of other cullinary uses in the kitchen.
