Dear All,

            Repeating my earlier request for ID.Pic taken in Mulshi,Pune.

The locals avoid eating the fruits.

thanks

I am stumped...
but nothing...
not an expert...
could this be one of those very acidic plums... that were used by
romans to make wine?

MY QUESTION: DIDN't the LOCALS tell you the name they use for it?

that's usually a good starting point...

... looks very much like Olea dioica ... commonly known as kadu jambhul कडू जांबूळ / कड जांबूळ OR par jambhul ¿ पार जांभूळ ?

To me this not wild or otherwise OLIVE..... leaves definitely are not
OLIVE like....

I still think its one of those acidic plums..used to be used for pies
and making wine...

a little goolgling gets one: **** 1) Prunus institia or Shropshire
Prune Damson ..... likely....

*****2) prunus domestica ..... perhaps.....

PS WHEN I DONT HAVE A RULER OR SOMETHING HANDY TO COMPARE SIZE , I
JUST USE MY FINGERS, PALM ETC OR A PEN ..INCLUDING THEM IN AT LEAST
ONE PHOTO..

SOMETIMES I ASK PASSERS-BY... AS I RECENTLY DID, WHEN PHOTOGRAPHING
KARAMCHA /CARISSA FRUITS FROM THE STREET , THE TREE WAS INSIDE
RAMKRISHNA MISSION CAMPUS... A STUDENT WAS WALKING BY, AND SHE
COMPLIED WITH MY REQUEST, SHE LENT ME HER FINGERS ..HOLDING THE
BRANCH AND PROVIDING THE PICTURE A SIZE GUIDE... VOILA, A RULER...

something like that would have helped in this case...... esp the
fruit...

Are there serrated leaves at any stage? I am also guessing towards Olea dioica of Oleaceae family. 

I could see the lenticels on mature stems.
