Kasam (Seedling) Fruit Plant

Kasam fruit (Erioglossum rubiginosum) is a small tree or bushy shrub with a dense crown and pinnate leaves. The plant is generally covered in fine hairs on different parts of its structure. It produces small white, fragrant flowers that develop into edible fruits.

The fruits change color as they ripen, ranging from yellow and orange to purple and nearly black. The pulp is sweet with a slightly astringent taste, though its palatability may vary among individuals.

Kasam fruit is edible and has been associated with high antioxidant properties. It is also noted in traditional usage for its antimicrobial and other bioactive properties, though its taste is not always considered pleasant.

Cultivation & Care

Kasam fruit plants grow best in well-draining soil composed of a mix of soil, compost, and sand. During the early growth stage, the plant requires regular and abundant watering to establish healthy development.
