Unlike exotic horticultural introductions, Ziziphus glabrata is an authentic native component of Gujarat's indigenous scrub forests, ravines, and dry deciduous woodlands. It occurs naturally in wild, rocky, and semi-arid tracts of Saurashtra (Gir, Girnar, Barda Hills), Kachchh, and Northern Gujarat riverine borders (Sabarkantha, Banaskantha), as well as along field boundaries in degraded agro-pastoral zones.
