Dear Nidhan ji: this shrub has peculiar thorn pattern, did you get to photograph it?
related to karamda, and just like the karamda (in gujarati, koromcha in Bengali) the fruits do get red, did you see any red fruits? though these fruits are somewhat larger than culinary karamada.... has multiple somewhat flat seeds inside. Did you get to photograph the thorns, red fruit and or seeds inside... This south african import has been a popular hedge shrub in Southern california , esp because of the thorns, prevents unwanted intrusion by man or beast, and the berries are edible to boot... local birds love it...
