The fruit pod of the Lagerstroemia parviflora tree from the forests of India. They have a hard outer shell and wooden interior and provide a fair amount of tannins.

- Increase the acidity slightly
- Inhibit the effect of bacteria and diseases.
- Colour the water slightly brown.
- Helps to create a more natural habitat.
