Hi aimmedia2x, Jumbhul is very easy to grow! Either you can obtain ready to plant saplings from a nursery or you can start ut from your own seeds. It is very easy to grow and hardy as well. All you need to take care is that it gets plenty of sunshine and is watered enough. The advantage of growing from seeds is that you can select the best quality seeds and after they germinate, you can simply select the ones that look more healthy and the leaves are shiny!

i want to start with seed. Is it simple ? What is the whole process? Just puting the fresh seed inside soil and keeping it moist, is enough or any thing else ? How much time it take to germinate ? Do have any jaamun tree ?

Yes, its very simple! Like I said Jambhul is a very hardy species, and you can start from the fresh seed. Planting it first in a small pot and keeping it moist will make it germinate well. When the sapling is about a few inches tall with healthy growth, you can then transplant it in your garden wherever you wish to plant it. After that, just take care of it well and it will grow nicely!
