Friends I was there with Renee.Even first we thought it was D.malabarica but it can't be for LOOK AT THE FLOWERS!...THEY LOOK LIKE MALE FLOWERS...HOW CAN IT BEAR FRUITS? and that made us wonder what it was....female flowers of D.malabarica are very different and male and female occur on separate trees[it is monoecious tree].....MAY BE this is an aberrant D.malabarica who is born as dioecious! ! ! We were told it is vilayati Gab..and probably D.ebenum but D.ebenum fruits are not so big! thanking you all in advance.Usha[TAW]
