The tree the coasts are built on — water, kernel, oil, thatch and shade.

A coastal tree that fruits on poor laterite where almost nothing else does.

The kokum of the Konkan — a slim tree with fruit that makes the summer drink.

Fruit inside a year from seed — the fastest fruit a household can grow.

A single sucker in a corner gives shade, cooking leaves and, in time, fruit.
