The Bael Fruit (Aegle marmelos) is a sacred tree in Hinduism and is native to India, Nepal, and other Southeast Asian countries. It is known for its medicinal properties and has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. The fruit has a hard, woody shell that encases aromatic, orange-colored pulp with numerous seeds embedded in it.

Habitat: Aegle marmelos thrives in tropical and subtropical climates, growing well in well-drained soils and tolerating drought once established. It is commonly found in dry forests and is often cultivated near villages and temples.

• Light: Requires full sun for optimal growth.
• Soil: Well-draining soil is preferred, but it can tolerate a wide range of soil types.
• Watering: Water regularly, especially during the growing season.
• Maintenance: Prune lightly to shape the tree and remove dead or diseased branches.

Additional Information: Besides its medicinal uses, Bael Fruit is also valued for its cultural significance and is used in religious rituals and festivals across its native range.
