Abstract
Chrysophyllum roxburghii G. Don is am important tropical wild edible fruit species known to have ethno medicinal properties. The present study was carried out to assess the variation in different fruit morphometric traits across the different location in Kodagu, Central Western Ghats. Fruit bearing trees were selected from five different location in Kodagu and fruit parameters such as fruit width, fruit length, fruit weight, pulp weight, seed weight, number of seeds etc were recorded. It was found that, all the fruit parameters were significantly higher in Appanagala location which is relatively a higher rain fall area among the other four locations. Hence, Rainfall could be an important driver in fruit parameters in the present investigation
