Sri Lanka: variety "JAFFNA"

This traditional perennial pod variety has been grown in the Thangachimadam area of India from cuttings originally brought from Jaffna, Sri Lanka during the cargo service between India and Sri Lanka.

Our most recent lots of these seeds were grown in Sri Lanka.

This variety grows very well in coastal sandy soils. A 40 year old tree produces 1500 drumsticks (pods) from March – June. It has good pest and disease resistance.
