I am a grafted Marian Plum tree producing sweet-sour fruits.

Native to Southeast Asia; cultivated in Thailand, Malaysia, and India.

Water weekly; keep soil moist but well-drained.

Requires full sun (6–8 hours daily).

Thrives in 25–35°C; sensitive to frost.

Plant in sandy-loam soil; spacing 6–8 meters apart.

Apply compost and NPK 8:10:10 every 2–3 months; supplement with potassium for fruit sweetness.

Botanical name: Bouea macrophylla; Family: Anacardiaceae.

Fruits are safe; seeds edible but sour.

Moderate; dense canopy reduces dust.

Fruits rich in vitamin C, fiber, and antioxidants; eaten fresh, pickled, or in desserts.

Susceptible to fruit fly, anthracnose, and powdery mildew; prune for airflow and monitor regularly.

Can live 30–40 years; grafted plants fruit in 3–4 years; peak yield from year 8 onward.
