Surveys were undertaken for characterization and evaluation of genetic diversity of Jamun (Syzygium cuminii Skeels) of seedling origin for different morphological characters of flowering habits and fruit characters during 2016-17 and 2017-18 in the Jamun growing in Northern Bastar Plateau region of Chhattisgarh areas. The experiment was arranged in randomized block design with four replications and was carried out to assess the morphological characters of fruit habits on sixty jamun genotypes. Investigations were undertaken during the entire reproductive phase to assess the distribution, range and to record the range of genetic variability of different morphological traits on the selected sixty trees. Parameters like Month of flower initiation, flower colour and date of flower initiation were assessed during flowering time. Mature fruits were plucked and analyzed for different parameters such as fruit shape, fruit colour and fruit waxiness, duration of fruit, pulp colour, fruit taste, fruit astringency and Juiciness. Results of evaluated Jamun genotypes showed wide variability for studied characteristic and variation is the pre requisite for crop improvement.
