In the world of exotic fruit plants, few match the visual intrigue and rarity of the Blue Sausage Fruit, scientifically known as Decaisnea fargesii. Native to the mystical mountains of China, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, and the Indian Himalayas, this plant isn’t just a fruit bearer — it’s a conversation piece, a collector’s treasure, and an edible oddity waiting to be explored.
At Veliyath Gardens, we bring this rare, cold-hardy, and visually arresting fruit plant to your doorstep — for those who wish to add something truly different to their tropical or ornamental garden collection.

Blue Sausage is a deciduous, multi-stemmed shrub that can grow up to 3–5 meters in height. It is prized for its lush, fern-like foliage, attractive pale-green flowers, and above all, its surreal blue pods — slender fruits that look like glossy sausages hanging from delicate branches.
Blooming & Fruiting: Begins fruiting in 2 to 3 years
Maintenance Level: Moderate – requires well-drained soil and partial shade
Climate Adaptability: Tolerates cooler temperatures, making it ideal for subtropical highlands and shaded areas in warmer zones
The plant thrives in humid, fertile conditions, and adds a unique structural element to landscapes — especially when placed near walkways, garden entrances, or trellises.
The star attraction is undoubtedly the bright blue fruit pods, measuring 3 to 5 inches long, with a jelly-like pulp inside that is mild, sweet, and refreshing, often compared to watermelon or cucumber in flavor.
Edible Part: The inner translucent pulp
Note: Seeds are not edible and should be discarded
Culinary Use:
Eaten fresh, scooped with a spoon
Used in exotic fruit platters
Can be chilled and served as a novelty dessert item
The texture and flavor make it a hit with adventurous foodies and garden-to-table enthusiasts.
Though not widely studied in commercial nutrition, the fruit has traditionally been used in local regions for its hydrating and soothing qualities.
Potential health-supporting properties include:
Hydration boost through its water-rich pulp
Natural antioxidants from plant pigments
Soothing effect on digestion due to its gentle texture
Low-calorie content, making it a healthy snack
Its unique appeal lies in the combination of healthful refreshment and novelty value.
In many Himalayan gardens, Decaisnea fargesii is grown more for its ornamental charisma than just its edible fruit. The ghostly blue pods, paired with its graceful foliage, make it a showstopper in any landscape.
Symbolically, it is often associated with mystery, uniqueness, and resilience, mirroring the characteristics of those who cultivate it.
