Padmini ji, Your tree pictures match well with ' Wealth of India ' pictures and description for F. auriculata Lour. and as Navendu ji has mentioned it's syn. is F. roxburghii Wall.; F. macrophyla Roxb. It is mentioned in the volume that the fruits are edible but are "somewhat insipid" whatever that means! Further it is stated that they are made into curries or jam.
