Inside each fruit is the hard, deeply furrowed stone that becomes the sacred rudraksha bead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe tree is grown above all for these seeds, which are revered in Hindu tradition and strung as prayer beads, and the plant also has ornamental value and uses in traditional medicine. Quietly handsome with its blue fruit and dense foliage, it makes a fine specimen and avenue tree. In India it grows in the moist sub-Himalayan foothills, Bengal, the north-east and parts of the Western Ghats, favouring high rainfall and deep, well-drained soils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFamily:\u003c\/strong\u003e Elaeocarpaceae\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNative region:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sub-Himalayan and north-east India\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 15–25 m\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth rate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to slow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe stony seed is notoriously slow and erratic to germinate because of its extremely hard coat. Clean off all pulp, then scarify the stone or soak it for several days, changing the water, to soften it. Sow about 2–3 cm deep in moist, well-drained mix kept warm and shaded; germination commonly takes 30 days or more, often several months. Be patient, keep the medium evenly moist, and pot on seedlings as they appear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vedicflora","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51052343230710,"sku":"SED-TRE-ELAEOCARPUS-001","price":759.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0805\/4980\/6326\/files\/nurserylive-seeds-elaeocarpus-ganitrus-rudraksha-0-5-kg-seeds-16968840609932.jpg?v=1782714476","url":"https:\/\/vedicflora.com\/products\/elaeocarpus-ganitrus-rudraksha-0-5-kg-seeds","provider":"vedicflora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
