🌳 How to get a large, bushy, exotic fruit tree in no time

*Meet the Divine Berry - Syzygium cumini - Jambolan, Java Plum

*Jambolan boasts fragrant white flowers in clusters at stem tips and produces purplish-black berries with sweet or mildly tangy flavors.

*These versatile fruits can be enjoyed raw or turned into tarts, sauces, and jams.

*Beyond its culinary use, Jambolan plays a role in folk medicine, with seeds, leaves, and bark used in Ayurveda and Chinese medicine.

*According to Hindu tradition, Rama survived on this fruit during his 14-year exile, earning it the title "fruit of the gods." Hindu mythology even describes Lord Krishna’s skin as the color of Jambul. The leaves are commonly used to decorate marriage pendals in India.

*This fast-growing, bushy tree isn't just for fruit lovers – it also makes a beautiful ornamental, forming dense privacy screens. The tree grows super fast - becoming a large, bushy screen in just two seasons, making it perfect for privacy or creating a dense ornamental barrier.

🎥 The tree on the video is only 3 years old!
