Spondias Mangifera

[raghu ananth]

Spondias Mangifera, Fam: Anacardiaceae

Amate Kai, {Kannada]

Old and a huge tree, still fruiting in hundreds,  (Actual fruiting season  Dec - Feb). 

Green fallen fruits are probably due to the fierce winds from the previous night

Leaves imparapinnate, 6cm, leaflet - 45 cm, height 45 feet, girth - between 2.0 to 2.5 meters approx

Fruits are sold  in the town. I bought them from a villager by paying 20/- per K.G.

Habitat: dry lands, close to irrigation channel

Status: Tough to see these trees, becoming rarer. In all these years I could  see only two of these tree kinds.
