Abstract

Lannea coromandelica (Houtt.) Merr. is a fast growing, large size deciduous tree which is widely used for Jhingan gum extraction, timber, ornamental and medicinal purpose. The better understanding of phenology will help us to efficient utilization of these trees in urban landscapes and agroforestry systems. The present investigation revealed that L. coromandelica was starts flowering from Mid-January to March. It has a mean of 26 flowers per inflorescence with 0.54 % fruit set and 0.80% seed set around.The fruits attain harvest maturity at 18th week after anthesis with a distinctive colour change from light red to darker red colour. Seeds are orthodox in nature and have maximum of 52.67% germination.
