Jamun (Sir Cotton Kala) - Grafted

About Jamun (Sir Cotton Kala) - Grafted

Jamun, botanically Syzygium cumini, is a well-known Indian fruit tree. Sir Cotton Kala Jamun is a newer emerging variety from Kadiyam, Rajahmundry, named in honour of Sir Arthur Cotton, an irrigation engineer. It grows to a medium size, has a high yield with big fruit size, and more pulp than most other varieties.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Soil: Ordinary well-drained garden soil.
• Climate: Suitable between 15-40°C.

Planting & Spacing

Easy to grow in the house garden, farmhouse, or in a medium-to-large pot (around 30x30 inches); can reach up to about 8 metres if planted in the ground.

Care

• Watering: Regular watering; avoid waterlogging.
• Fertilizer: Any organic or homemade compost once every 3 months, plus organic mulching near the root zone.
• Pruning: Provide support against wind and physical damage while young; avoid letting the plant flower for the first 2 years so it builds physical strength.

Fruiting & Harvest

This grafted variety starts fruiting after about 1 year of planting. Harvest the oval black-purple berries once fully coloured and slightly soft.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline.
