Thai Bel Bael Bilva Grafted Fruit Plant (1.5-2 Feet Height)

Thai Bel Bael Bilva (Aegle marmelos), a premium grafted cultivar from Thailand prized for larger fruits and enhanced pulp quality, produces woody greyish-yellow globose baels 8-15 cm across filled with aromatic sweet-gummy orange pulp rich in vitamin C, tannins, and mucilage, revered in Ayurveda as sacred Bilva for digestive and spiritual healing. This evergreen tree offers superior yield, disease resistance, and faster fruiting from grafted plants compared to seedlings, thriving in hot-dry Indian climates from Rajasthan to Tamil Nadu with minimal care. The 1.5–2 feet sapling suits home temples, orchards, pots, or medicinal gardens, bearing ripe fruits May-July for sharbat, chutneys, or rituals.​
