Sir, My colleague says one or two of his neighbors have this plant, The plants grow on their own. My colleague collected this sapling growing under such a climber which occupies the canopy of a 30 ft tree.
Usually village kids collect these fruits from wildly growing plants and sell those at Rs. 3/- to 5/- each. I have information of another one, growing in a graveyard. People collect fruits from such places. If time & monsoon permit i will try to visit the majestic vine. Thank you very much for elaborate account and misconception over KAKROL.
