Bimalda...
Bhison bhalo laglo, egulo dekhe...

What a lot of fruits on one short group of branches..
imagine how many would a tree bear?

I have seen a few only per foot of a branch in a demonstration garden
for herbal medicine...

I am impressed..
is this wild or is it cultivated..ie an amalka farm?

Thanks ..
Usha
