Kepel (Stelechocarpus Burahol)

Step into botanical royalty with the Kepel Plant (Stelechocarpus burahol)—a rare and sacred fruit tree from Java, Indonesia, once exclusively grown in palace gardens for royalty 👑🌿. The tree is cherished not only for its oval, golden-brown fruits with a sweet, musky aroma, but also for its natural deodorizing and medicinal properties.

Traditionally consumed by Javanese princesses, Kepel fruit is believed to purify the body, freshen breath, and scent the skin from within. Its exotic appeal and cultural legacy make it a treasured addition for plant collectors, herbalists, and rare fruit enthusiasts.

The tree is slow-growing and loves warm, humid climates with partial shade, making it perfect for tropical gardens. Its glossy evergreen foliage and sculptural form add visual elegance, even when not fruiting.
