20 Aegle Marmelos Tree Seeds/Bael Fruit Bengal Quince/Stone Apple Aroma

Bael tree is a slow-growing deciduous shrub or tree that can reach an eventual height of 10 - 15 metres. The bole, which is usually fluted at base, can be 50cm in diameter The tree is armed with 1 - 2cm long spines on older branches and also produces very spiny basal suckers. The bael tree is frequently cultivated on the plains of Pakistan and India for its fruit and is also sometimes cultivated outside its native range Considered a sacred tree in the Hindu culture, the leaves are indispensable offerings to the Lord Shiva. The tree is commonly grown in the grounds of temples in countries such as India and Thailand, where the fruit is used to make a very refreshing drink for the monk
  • The plant is a hardy, deciduous tree that can be grown in tropical and sub-tropic areas, being tolerant of harsh conditions, including extremes of temperature[306 ]. It succeeds from sea level to an elevation of 1,200 metres where the mean annual temperature can range from -6 to 48°c[303 ]. In Thailand, it only flowers and fruits well where there is a prominent dry season
  • Does best on rich, well-drained soils, but can tolerate poor soils and alkaline conditions
  • It also grows well in swampy, alkaline or stony soils having pH range from 5 to 8. It has gained the reputation of thriving where other fruit trees cannot survive. Plants are very drought tolerant.
  • Seedling trees begin to crop when 6 - 7 years old, vegetatively propagated plants bear fruit after 5 years and full bearing can be attained in about 15 years[306 ]. A tree may yield as many as 800 fruits in a season but an average crop is 150 to 200, or, in the better cultivars, up to 400.
  • The fruit ripens in the dry season when most leaves have been shed in anticipation of bloom for the next crop. The plant responds well to coppicing.
