Choerospondias axillaris
Choerospondias axillaris, commonly known as Nepali hog plum or lapsi, is a deciduous fruit tree that prefers partial shade when young and full sun at maturity, with regular watering during the growing season. It adapts well to a range of well-draining soils and is valued both for its edible tart fruits and its use in traditional medicine. Allow ample space for canopy development and prune lightly after fruiting to maintain shape.
