A small to medium-sized deciduous tree, usually growing 5–15 m tall. It is easily recognized by its thorny branches, zigzag twigs, and shiny green, ovate leaves with three prominent veins arising from the base. The tree bears small greenish-yellow flowers in clusters, followed by round to oval drupes that turn green, yellow, reddish-brown, or dark brown when ripe. The fruits are sweet, nutritious, and rich in vitamin C, making them popular for fresh consumption and processing.
यह वृक्ष भारत का मूल निवासी है और शुष्क पर्णपाती वनों, झाड़ीदार क्षेत्रों तथा शुष्क एवं अर्ध-शुष्क प्रदेशों में सामान्य रूप से पाया जाता है। यह सूखा सहन करने वाली महत्वपूर्ण प्रजाति है और इसके फल, चारा, ईंधन तथा औषधीय उपयोग के कारण व्यापक रूप से उगाई जाती है। इसके पुष्प मधुमक्खियों के लिए भी अच्छा मधुरस (nectar) स्रोत हैं।
