In P.pashia fruits are smaller, globular, unpalatable and with white dots. It is a naturally occurring species with relatively smaller trees. P.cpmmunis has larger, smooth and globular or pyriform fruits; a cultivated species here. Leaves in P.pashia are ovate lanceolate whereas in P.communis they are elliptic. Having said these difference, it is difficult to differentiate these two in flowering stage when leaves are very young or yet to develop. Despite of similarities and differences P.pashia (Mehal) is extensively used as a root stock for grafting scions of P.communis. Thus developing a horticultural chimera; root of one species stem, lvs and fruits of another!
