2. Jamun fruit is botanically known as Syzygium cumini and is produced on an evergreen tree that reaches up to 20 feet tall. In its native India, the fruit is also called Jambul or Jaam . Around the world the small fruit is known as Java plum, Black plum and Indian blackberry. The Jamun tree is revered by Buddhists; in Indian mythology, Lord Rama subsisted on Jamun fruit during his 14-day exile in the forest. This lore earned the fruit the nickname “fruit of the Gods.” The Jamun tree lives for over 100 years. - See more at: http://www.specialtyproduce.com/produce/Jamun_10843.php#sthash.D7GkMMGs.dpuf

3. Varieties The common types of jambolan in India are: 1)  Ra Jaman ,  with large, oblong fruits, dark-purple or bluish, with pink, sweet pulp and small seeds; 2)  Kaatha ,  with small, acid fruits. Among named cultivars are, mainly,  'Early Wild', 'Late Wild', ' Pharenda ';  and, secondarily,  'Small Jaman '  and  ' Dabka '  (' Dubaka '). In Java, the small form is called  Djoowet kreekil ;  a seedless form is  Djoowet booten .  In southern Malaya, the trees are small-leaved with small flower clusters. Farther north, the variety called  ' Krian Duat '  has larger, thicker leaves and red inner bark. Fruits with purple flesh are more astringent than the white-fleshed types.
