About this listen

 Hello everyone! Welcome to *A Year with Trees* podcast. I am Fatima, the host of this show. Trees are one of my favourite beings in nature, and I enjoy learning about them. There are not many podcasts that talk about trees, so I started this show to spread awareness about some common Indian trees. Every week, I share my stories related to the tree of the week, describe it to you in detail, and then help you with keys to identify it in the wild. So come along with me, let's explore the beautiful world of trees. Enjoy and do follow and share! Blog: https://ayearwithtreespodcast.wordpress.comFatima Biological Sciences Science

Today's tree is the Indian Almond Tree, and before I discuss it in detail, let me recount to you my story about this tree.

    Kids and parrots have much in common. Not only can they chatter incessantly all day long, but they love the same kind of fruits, too. These fruits have soft skin or flesh and are sweet or tangy. So among their favourites, guavas, mangoes and lychees, is a purple sweet-sour berry-like fruit called Jamun .The tree is very common, yet I have met many people who find it difficult to identify it. So, in this episode, I will help you with distinct keys that you can use to easily know your jamun trees.
