About This Plant
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Thai Black Jamun KG-10 (Syzygium cumini) is a premium grafted variety of the beloved Indian Jamun, selected for its exceptionally large, plump, deep black-purple fruits — significantly bigger than the common Jamun found in local markets. The KG-10 variety is a Thai-origin selection prized for its superior fruit size, juicy flesh, sweet-tart flavour, and reduced seed size. Grafted plants begin fruiting in just 2–3 years, making them an excellent investment for home orchards, kitchen gardens, and balcony growing. Rich in antioxidants and with a long history in Ayurvedic medicine for managing blood sugar, Jamun is one of India’s most nutritious summer fruits.

📅 Seasonal Availability & Behaviour
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🌸 Spring (Feb – Apr):
New growth and flower buds emerge. White fragrant flowers appear in clusters. Begin fertilising now.
☀️ Summer (May – Jul):
Main fruiting season — fruits develop and ripen from May to July. Harvest when fruits turn deep black-purple and fall with a gentle touch.
🌧️ Monsoon (Jul – Sep):
Active growth period. Ensure good drainage — Jamun tolerates monsoon well but avoid waterlogging at the root zone.
🍂 Autumn (Oct – Nov):
Vegetative growth continues. Top-dress with compost and balanced fertiliser for the following year’s fruiting.
❄️ Winter (Dec – Jan):
Slow growth. Protect young plants from frost below 5°C. Established trees are relatively cold-hardy.
🛒 Best Time to Buy & Plant: February to April or August to October. Avoid planting during peak summer heat or heavy monsoon.
