Mysore Areca Nut / മൈസൂർ അടയ്ക്ക

Mysore Areca Nut (Adakka / അടയ്ക്ക) is a prized variety of the areca (betel nut) palm, valued as a cash crop across South India. These quality seed nuts grow into tall, elegant palms that yield the areca nuts used traditionally, while the graceful palms also make attractive garden and avenue trees. Sow the seed nuts in warm, moist, fertile soil with partial shade; germination takes patience, and the palms mature over several years. A rewarding long-term crop for farmers and gardeners with space for a productive, ornamental palm.
