Ranchi, Jharkhand-
It might be difficult to believe but residents of Lohardaga claim that a tree in the region bears a unique fruit. According to locals 'gulab jamuns' grow on the tree.
The tree belongs to 65-year-old Gautan Bharti. The tree starts flowering from Feb to March. The fruits, which are large berries, develop by May or June. The fruit is pinkish when young, changing to a leathery, glossy dark green with a yellow midrib as it matures. As the number of people consuming these 'gulab jamuns' are increasing, the price is rising too. This year, Bharti sold 'gulab jamuns', ranging from Rs 100 per kg to Rs 150 per kg.
According to a report in Dainik Bhaskar, this fruit tastes exactly like the one you get at the neighbourhood sweet shop. The only difference is it doesn't come with a special packing.
