It's more than two months and no one there even to suggest a probability! Since leaves are not with apical truncate portion (+irregularly dentate) it is unlikely to be Z. truncata.

Better goes with Z. xylopyrus (a) (Retz.) WIlld.

Thank you

Regards

[Paresh Churi]

Surely not Z. xylopyrus, since I have seen it numerous times in field across India. It is something else.

Fruiting season Dec- Feb. as per info given by local people.

[Satish N. Pardeshi]

Dear all
Going by the BSI key Provided by Surajit jee...it is not conclusive to mention the plant in concern is Z. truncata as inflorescence and other observation are required. the diagnostic character i found in this plant is the apiculate apex of leaves.

while workign on flora of Mumbai i observed that the juvenile plants of Zizuphus show much contrasting and varid characters as compared to mature plants.

inflorescence and other character are necessary for proper identification of this plant ..this is what i feel.

you can go through following links for further observations
