Exotic Fruit Plants

Exotic fruit plants are not native to India but popular in other countries. Some of them grow very well in India, just as they do in their native places. For convenience, an exotic variety of commonly found fruit plants gets listed under "Indian fruit plants." 

Exotic fruit plants here are mostly tropical or sub-tropical fruit plants, and growing them can be a rewarding experience.

The Matova tree flowers in the month of October and starts giving good, ripe fruits in 45 days. Unripe Matoa is green in colour, which turns purple upon ripening.
