Karonda

Karonda (Carissa carandas) is a hardy, thorny shrub native to the Indian subcontinent, valued for its small, tangy edible berries. Thriving in tropical and subtropical climates, it grows well in a variety of soils, including poor and dry conditions, making it a resilient choice for expert growers. The fruit is rich in vitamin C and commonly used in culinary applications such as pickles, jams, and traditional medicines. Karonda’s drought tolerance and nutritional benefits make it an excellent addition to sustainable and multifunctional landscapes.
