Dear Friend,
                   Elaeocarpus sphaericus is known as RUDRAKSHA.I saw this tree for the first time at Dehradun.It was a small sapling planted by Mrs Indira Gandhi,behind the main building of Forest Research Institute.That was in 1974.I saw a grown up tree with fruits at Tezpur in 2002.In fact I made a rosary from the stones of the fruits I collected.I found two big trees in apark here.The tree is full of fruits at this time of the year.Attaching three images .
Regards
