AOA.
Can you brothers guide me where can I find this plant to buy for growing further.
As to my knowledge and research this shrub "Karonda" is a local name of Cranberry.
And to my research, Cranberry is a highly beneficial herbal treatment in curing UT infection & anti-becterial cure in our noddy, naturally.
I myself have UTI problem and have used Cranberry extract which give me good relief.
But research says that taking Cranberry fruit as a whole or in shake is much better to heal UTI naturally.
Kindly help me to find this plant in Lahore or nearby areas.
Thanks in advance.

Kronda is NOT cranberry...

Cranberries are Vaccinium species.

Brother Izhar

I am also working on Hudroponics Farming.
I did a 90% successful experiment oh Hydroponics by growing Cucumber, Bottle-Gourd, Tomato and fodder grass of Jawar in a very small self made green house.
Now I am working on growing Cranberryab , Stevia and some other high value shrubs/herbs on little bigger scale.
So I feel I will be in need of your and brother Khubab's honourable cooperation and expert guidance in this field. Hope you and brother Khubab will give honour me giving me your continued petronage.

I am afraid if cranberry grows in Pakistan at all. Why don't you try our local fruits homemade juices such pomegranates for which are as rich in antioxidants as cranberry. The rind of pomegranate was used in "hikmat" for urinary tract infections.
