Bimalda
very nice
its interesting that its growing by a roadside
the fruits grow to be very big, (see below)
I wonder what do these neighborhood folks do with the fruits or seeds?


we have several in the kolkata area
one is famous one in victoria memorial grounds on the northeast corner lawn
another in the large army garden enclave in the salt lake area
another i think i saw in the horticulture garden
and of course the shibpur botanical garden
i have not yet seen it outside of a deliberate planting, at least in
Calcutta


the fully grown fruits get very big (the leaf here is from a nearby other
tree)

thats a size 8 shoe = 9.5 inches long
in victoria memorial garden lawn
i believe its a fruit from the year before
the tree still only had buds for that current year
