Guggul (Commiphora wightii), packet of 5 seeds, organic
$9.95
Family: Myrrh (Burseraceae)
Hardy to Zones 10 to 12, otherwise grown as a potted tree and protected from frost.
(Indian bdellium tree, gugal, guggul, gugul, Mukul myrrh Tree, Commiphora mukul) Shrub to small tree to 12 feet tall, native to India, extending also into North Africa and central Asia. Traditional usage (Ayurveda): obesity, urinary infection, antiseptic. Source of gum guggul, an oleo/gum/resin that has a myrrh-like aroma. The tree is quite growable in indoor potted culture and responds well to cactus mix and occasional watering, a light window. Plant prefers full sun, heat and dryish, very fast draining soils. Nick seed with a blade and sow about 1/2 inch deep in cactus mix and keep very warm until germination. Water occasionally. Planting in a warm greenhouse we noted germination in 18 days. Take care not to overwater seedlings in order to avoid damping off. Transplant and grow on in pots.

hello turf, yes, this is one of the special plants that you can grow in your warmer zone. Among all the Burseraceae (the Myrrh family) these are really the easiest. richo

Hello, can a small amount of seeds be successfully sent to China? Does this seed belong to the list prohibited by the customs? How much is the transportation cost?

Richo Cech –
hello chao, Commiphora is an elite plant–it is not disallowed anywhere. I believe shipping to China is still enabled on our website, and please be aware that we do not guarantee international shipments. If you order, we will send. the shipping cost is going to be about $14.00–you can review before finalization. r

No worries. Human schedules sometimes enhance plant schedules and sometimes get in the way. As a Pisces, I tend to let it flow. Attachment just causes ripples. r

As a Pisces, too, I hear you… 🙂 I was still very happy that the time flow between my here and your here was unhindered, and my Guggal seeds have arrived in very cheering time. Thank you! 🙂 It’s still quite cool here, due to Winter, but we have a lovely warm and sunny room just perfect for Guggal seeds. 🙂 Many blessings to you.

Hello Sumera,
Honestly, my experience with trying to send seeds to India is that they rarely get to their destination. I will send them, but cannot guarantee delivery.

These trees can be hard to find at my local desert nursery so I decided to try and grow them by seed. I was extremely pleased at the 100% germination rate to these seeds. I would recommend these seeds and this company to friends without a doubt.

Hello Seth,
Thanks for making the effort to communicate. As you know freshness is important for Burseraceae, and proper horticultural technique is required for germination. I am relieved to hear that you have the latter covered. Richo
