Common Names: Lolly Berry, Chinese Salacia, Saptachakra
Botanical Name: Salacia chinensis
The Lolly Berry Fruit Plant is an extraordinary tropical climber that has caught the attention of garden enthusiasts, herbal medicine practitioners, and exotic fruit collectors worldwide. Known by names such as Chinese Salacia and Saptachakra, this plant has a unique charm thanks to its striking fruits, medicinal properties, and cultural value. Whether grown for its sweet, candy-like fruits or its traditional healing uses, the Lolly Berry is a wonderful addition to any fruit lover’s garden.
Lolly Berry is a versatile plant in growth habit. It usually appears as a climbing vine but can also adapt into a scrambling shrub or even resemble a small tree under favorable conditions. With time, the plant grows tall and creates a lush presence in the garden, ideal for adding both greenery and a touch of rarity.
The fruits of Salacia chinensis are small yet fascinating:
Shape & Color: Globose to ovate, glowing red when ripe.
Inside the Fruit: Each fruit usually contains a single seed, wrapped by a juicy, fleshy aril.
Taste: The aril is exceptionally sweet, non-fibrous, and often compared to a blend of watermelon and cotton candy—a flavor unlike any other tropical fruit.
Texture: Much like a lychee, the skin separates easily, making the fruit fun and enjoyable to eat.
This unique taste and texture make Lolly Berry a high-demand fruit among rare fruit collectors and those seeking new flavors.
Beyond its delightful fruit, Salacia chinensis has long been valued in traditional medicine, especially in South and Southeast Asia.
The roots are renowned for their ability to normalize menstruation, invigorate circulation, and balance internal functions.
Herbalists consider it a rejuvenating plant, supporting overall vitality.
In Ayurveda and folk medicine, Salacia species are also noted for their role in managing blood sugar and metabolism.
This dual role—both as a fruit-bearing plant and a natural healer—makes Lolly Berry truly special.
Growing Lolly Berry is rewarding for gardeners with patience and care:
Fruiting Time: 4–5 years from planting.
Maintenance Level: Moderate—requires well-drained soil, warm climates, and occasional pruning to manage its climbing growth.
Care Tip: Providing support such as a trellis or pergola allows the plant to climb naturally, producing healthier growth and better fruiting.
Once established, the plant is fairly hardy and thrives in tropical to subtropical regions.
Rare and Exotic: Not commonly found in local markets, making it a prized collection for fruit enthusiasts.
Nutritional & Medicinal Value: Combines delicious edible fruits with traditional healing benefits.
Garden Beauty: Its climbing habit and bright red fruits make it an ornamental asset.
