Several wild indigenous fruit crops which
are rare in other part of the world grow favourably and
naturally in the foothills track of Eastern Himalayas
due to suitable geo-climatic conditions. These wild
fruits are Padus napaulensis (Ser. ex DC.) Schneider,
Elaeagnus latifolia L., Myrica esculenta Buch.-Ham.
ex D. Don, Baccaurea ramiflora Lour., Pyrus pashia
Hamilton ex D. Don, Calamus meghalayensis (Becc.)
A.J. Hend., Gynocardia odorata R. Br., Prunus
undulata Buch.-Ham., Docynia indica (Wall.) Decne.,
Rhus chinensis Mill. and Viburnum foetidum Wallich.
These naturally occurring fruit plants which are
harvested and marketed locally, not only nutritionally
and medicinally rich but also thrive well under adverse
climatic conditions and can be the source of several
desirable gene(s) or traits particularly for resistance to
biotic and abiotic stresses. In spite of their potential,
these fruit plants are unattended both at scientific and
farmers level. There is a need to attain sustainable
growth, food and nutritional security for the most
susceptible tribal population in the near future.
Therefore, during the course of survey, collection
and evaluation of eleven naturally occurring potential
wild edible fruit plants have been discussed including
their habitat, distribution, morphological description,
quality parameters, utilization potential, constraints
and possible strategies like how to increase their
population size, productivity, conservation and
utilization.
