A leading plant seller in Mumbai has propagated a very interesting tree. As informed by the owner he bought this plant from Vietnam and through grafting has developed this new hybrid and has been selling it since last seven years. I saw it for the first time this year at the show at Rani baug. These are huge red fruits  of Jamun, very juicy and more sweeter than the mormal small white ones seen in Mumbai. The botanical name was given to me by the owner, hope it is correct! 
 
regards,
Rashida.

Yes the name is correct, but commonly it is known as Red Wax Jamun

Thank you Shrikantji. Not sure about this because the fruit size of S. aqueum is smaller. I had my doubt about S. Samarangense also because  our database has the fruit size much smaller than what the nursery has propagated, about 7 to 8 inches big fruits.
 
regards,
Rashida.

Hi, Tanay ji,
You certainly deserve them.
May you get a parcel of them from Rashida ji.
I tried something similar near Bardhaan market a few days back- though not very tasty but costly.

Hi Tanay ji,
 
Thanks for the confirmation of ID. I will be most happy to send you a parcel of the fruits as Garg ji has stated you deserve them, but you will have to wait for two long years before they reach you- that's the time the plant will  take to start fruiting.  But seriously, because of your interest I am going to try and find out from the nursery owner if they can be made available earlier by them. Hope for the best !
 
regards,
Rashida.

I do not find any similarity of this fruit with Jamun fruit.
It's fruit is not waxy, neither it has any seeds in side, though crsip and juicy and plasantly sweet.

Hi Promila ji,
 
This ID is resolved. All the morphological chracteristics of S. Samarangense are present except the size of the fruit ,which as informed is a new hybrid through propagation by the nusery owner.
 
regards,
Rashida.
