We had tons of these fruit trees in my college but it was so hard to get unharmed fruits since nobody bothered plucking them, we only got the ones that ripened and fell from the tree :)

It looks just like grapes!!!. If you hadnt said its jamun i would have taken it to be grapes:) . But one thing in your column is right, something thats very true in our country, we look for the more expensive outside food rather than exploring the local dishes and fruits grown in our own back yards.

I love love Jamuns, and your post took me right back to the streets of my home town in India, where we eagerly waited for our usual fruit vendor to bring us Jamuns when the season began. Gorgeous pics as always!

every single time i walk in here, i go back some 20 years. It has been 15 years since I have had Jamun. i could have another episode of memory outburst related to these fruits:-) but I will just say that I would color my doll's clothes purple with Jamun! Gorgeous pictures Cynthia.
