Apple Boar Grafted Fruit plant

Description

Bring home the legendary Bael Fruit (Aegle marmelos) —known in Nepali as Bel (बेल) or Sriphal—one of the most revered and medicinally valuable fruits in South Asia . This sacred tree, associated with Lord Shiva, produces a unique “stone apple” that has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years. Now available as premium grafted hybrid plants from Gupta Nursery.

At Gupta Nursery, we offer high-quality, grafted Bael plants that are specially selected for Nepal’s diverse climate. With the tree’s remarkable ability to thrive “where other fruit trees cannot survive,” this drought-hardy, low-maintenance plant is perfect for Nepali gardens across terai and mid-hill regions.

Why You’ll Love Our Grafted Bael Plant

• Nepal’s Sacred “Stone Apple”: The Bael tree holds deep religious significance in Hinduism—its leaves are traditionally offered to Lord Shiva during worship . In Newar community tradition, young girls have their first symbolic marriage (Ehi or Bael Bibaha) with the bael fruit, which is considered a symbol of Lord Vishnu, ensuring they are never widowed .

• Incredible Medicinal Value: Every part of the Bael tree—root, bark, leaf, fruit, flower, and seed—has therapeutic significance in Ayurvedic medicine. The ripe fruit pulp is aromatic, cooling, and laxative, while the unripe fruit is a powerful remedy for digestive disorders . A compound called marmelosin derived from the pulp is used as a laxative and diuretic .

• Grafted for Superior Quality & Early Fruiting: Our grafted plants ensure true-to-type fruit quality and earlier fruiting—much faster than seed-grown trees.

• Remarkably Adaptable: The Bael tree is known for thriving in poor soils, drought conditions, and challenging environments where other fruit trees fail, tolerating a wide range of temperatures and soil pH levels.

• Complete Tree of Value:

  • Fruit: Consumed fresh, mixed with milk and sugar to prepare a delicious juice, or processed into puddings 

  • Leaves: Used in worship and herbal preparations

  • Bark & Roots: Used in traditional medicine
