Indian ber (Ziziphus mauritiana), also known as Indian jujube or desert apple, is a hardy, fast-growing fruit tree native to India and Southeast Asia. It thrives in arid and semi-arid regions, tolerating high temperatures and poor soils. The tree grows up to 12 meters tall, with thorny branches and small, glossy leaves. Its fruits are small, round or oval, and vary from yellow to reddish-brown when ripe. The fruit is rich in vitamin C, iron, and antioxidants, making it nutritious and popular for fresh consumption, pickling, or drying. Indian ber is also valued for its medicinal properties and agroforestry benefits.
