Plant a tree of Jamun (Blackplum)

Syzygium cumini, commonly known as Malabar plum, Java plum, Black plum, jamun, jambul, and jambolan, is a highly sought-after evergreen tropical tree valued for its fruit, timber, and ornamental qualities. Moreover, this tree can reach a height of 30 m and live for over a century. It boasts dense foliage, offering cool shade and adding to its ornamental appeal. Furthermore, the wood of this tree becomes water-resistant when kiln-dried. The leaves of Syzygium cumini display a pinkish hue when young, gradually transforming into leathery and glossy dark green as they mature. They serve as nutritious fodder for livestock. Jamun trees begin to bloom from March to April, yielding fruits from May to June. The berries are oblong and ovoid, initially green and later transitioning through shades of pink, crimson red, and ultimately black as they ripen. The fruit exhibits a delightful combination of sweetness, mild sourness, and astringency, and has the unique characteristic of turning the tongue purple. Additionally, jamun cultivation can thrive even in areas with low soil fertility and limited water availability. Impact in Numbers  Carbon Fixed  250 Kgs per tree. CO2 reduction from the atmosphere by 900 Kg per tree. Increase in farmers’ income by 5000 INR per tree per year upon fruiting. Economic value to the farmers Black plum is a highly anticipated fruit that ripens once a year and is renowned for its exceptional taste. Due to its limited availability, the prices of black plums remain high. Additionally, a single tree has the potential to yield up to 200 kg of fruits annually.
