Gurcharan ji, Thanks for sharing the photo of Plum. We get the fruits
during rainy season. Is it the same which we call "Alu bukhra" in
Hindi?

Regards,

Mani.

The word Alu Bukhara does not seem to be from hindi It may be urdu.

Yes you are right, but there is a lot similar in two languages so are the common names. Many like me speak Hindi in Urdu style, others speak Urdu in Hindi style.

Sir, I have seen all your beautiful posts on Prunus domestica. This one appears to be a case of mixing of photographs. Pubescent fruit skin, short stalk and leaf shape points towards Prunus persica.
