Madhuri: we call it vilayati tetul, Jilipi tetul... sweetish-sourish pulp... like a tamarind.... very popular with local kids... they strip the tree of fruits as soon they discover it... many a time breaking the branches... recently Kolkta corporation (Most probably them or under their permission) even cut down many of them from crowded streets... dont know their reasons though
