'''Jambul''' (''Syzygium cumini'') is an evergreen tropical [[tree]] in the [[flowering plant]] family [[Myrtaceae]], native to [[Bangladesh]], [[India]], [[Nepal]], [[Pakistan]] and [[Indonesia]]. It is also known as '''Jaam/Kalojaam''', '''Jamun''', '''Nerale Hannu''', '''Njaval''','''Neredupandu''', '''Jamblang''', '''Jambolan''', '''Jambula''', '''Black Plum''', '''Damson Plum''', '''Duhat Plum''', '''Jambolan Plum''', '''Java Plum''' or '''Portuguese Plum'''. '''"Malabar plum"''' may also refer to other species of ''[[Syzygium]]''. A fairly fast growing species, it can reach heights of up to 30 m and can live more than 100 years. Its dense foliage provides shade and is grown just for its ornamental value. The wood is strong and is water resistant. Because of this it is used in [[railway]] sleepers and to install motors in [[Water well|well]]s. It is sometimes used to make cheap furniture and village dwellings though it is relatively hard to work on. Jambul trees start flowering from March to April. The [[flower]]s of jambul are fragrant and small, about 5 mm in diameter. The [[fruit]]s develop by May or June and resemble large [[berry|berries]]. The fruit is [[oblong]], [[ovoid]], starts green and turns pink to shining [[crimson]] black as it matures. A variant of the tree produces white coloured fruit. The fruit has a combination of sweet, mildly sour and [[astringent]] flavour and tends to colour the tongue purple. {{Inc| Eugenia jambolana, Lam. (Syzygium jambolana, DC.).
