BLACK PLUM
Black plum is also called
‘jamun’. Jamun tree is huge and is full of dark purple coloured fruits. Inside
each fruit there is one big seed. The fruits fall down when they ripen. But you
have to be careful before you eat the fallen fruits for they may be full of
white worms which are difficult to see. Tongue becomes purple after eating just
a few fruits.
The bark, fruits and leaves
are all edible and have medicinal properties.
