Amla fruit is the name commonly used to refer to the small to medium-sized tree species, whose dried fruit are also called Indian Gooseberry or alma. Gooseberries can be harvested in autumn and have an extremely sour, bitter taste. The weather must be warm and dry when harvesting the fruits to prevent mold formation. Gooseberries are chemically rich, containing important nutrients like calcium, potassium, magnesium and vitamin C. Traditionally a popular hair treatment in India, gooseberries have seen recent Western popularity as part of natural beauty regimens. They can also lower blood sugar levels.
Amla leaves resemble fern scales, which are also light green in colour and circular in shape. Amla flowers are yellow or pinkish often and have six petals, but don't look like the typical flower that most people seem to think of when the mention "flower". The bark is a light brownish-green colour and has 6 longitudinal vertical ridges or furrows.
