The trunk of *Morinda exserta* Roxb. is "six to tweleve feet" high( ref. Flora Indica) Didi.Of course it's a small tree as per Roxburgh himself. But the individual I recorded won't grow to a tree because it was too close to railtracks, when I saw it it was about 6 ft and by this time it is either pruned or cut!
Viplav Ji's species may be different, can grow more as per my search.
