Madhuri: The leaves of your tree remind me of something we saw this summer here at eflora... Most likely a singapore cherry...
a misnomer, since its native to central america like countries of Panama or even mexico... cant remember... botanical name :*Muntingia calabura Arijit Banerji showed it flowers in June this year from Kolkata: http://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/4adfa880f97c1a73/6419baf06c3b09ec?lnk=gst&q=singapore+cherry+2011#6419baf06c3b09ec Wikipedia has many pics by our own gargji: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muntingia Grows all over India in disturbed lands and sometimes becomes big trunked tree... I have only seen thin young trunks... Lets see what the experts say...
