Plant parts are used for medicinal purposes. It is a common agroforestry tree in the Himalayan region growing from 750 to 1500 m elevation. The present study was carried out to assess the exact time of seed and fruit maturation and germination of <em>F. semicordata</em> in Nainital district of Kumaun Himalaya across 3 sites during two consecutive years 2017 and 2018. Fruit of <em>F. semicordata</em> were collected from the marked trees from all the sites till the availability of the fruits. Across all the sites the mean fruit size varied between 190.24 &plusmn; 0.46 and 395.14 </span></span>&plusmn;3.56<span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">.14 mm&sup2; in Yr-1 and 135.56 &plusmn;3.69 to 516.86 &plusmn;1.26 mm&sup2; in Yr-2. Across both the sites the colour change from green to pinkish brown appears as one of the indicator of maturity. In addition to the colour fruit moisture content between 50.25&plusmn;0.58% and 62.73&plusmn;2.30% coincided with maximum germination (48.0&plusmn;0.06% and 85&plusmn; 4.61%).</span></span>
