Lakpura® Naminam Plant (Cynometra cauliflora) is a tropical fruit plant valued for its unique kidney-shaped fruits that grow directly from the trunk and branches. Known locally as Naminam, this traditional fruit plant produces fruits with a pleasantly sweet and sour flavor, making it an interesting addition to home gardens, orchards, and tropical fruit collections. Its unusual fruiting habit and attractive evergreen foliage also give it ornamental value.
Easy to grow and maintain, the Naminam plant thrives in warm tropical climates with good sunlight, regular watering, and well-drained soil. With proper care, it develops into a healthy small to medium-sized tree, producing seasonal fruits that can be enjoyed fresh or used in juices, pickles, chutneys, and traditional preparations. Its rare fruiting style, garden beauty, and local value make it suitable for Sri Lankan home growers.
