[Assam] Bhedelilot --- Hindi name ! ! !

[Chan Mahanta]

Yes indeed Alpana. Ajanta and Rajen had been kind enough to share 
some of their 'bogori' crop  goodies with us. Tasted just  like the 
old days back at Namti.

And that is not all. They have a coconut tree  and an Oxomiya nemu 
tree as well ( guess where they got that from :-)?)

BTW, if YOU want to tend to them, I have spare kaji-nemu plants and a 
gwl-nemu plant as well. But you will have to pick them up from here 
in a mini-van. If anyone wants I will be pleased to make more 
gwl-nemu cuttings by the 'daal-dhoraa' process of propagation ( 
air-layering), which will ensure fruiting in a couple of years.

And if anyone is brave enough, I am even willing to part with one of 
my two MOTHER 'gwl-nemu' trees , about 12' feet tall and 6' in 
diameter, whose progeny several Oxomiyas across the USA now possess.
It will require either a green-house or a temperate climate as in 
Houston or other southern states in the USA. Ca, Fla, Az etc. need 
not apply--illegal to export citrus plants to such states.

I am hoping  to try your modhuri-aam in our next trip to Houston :-).
