Hi Dr. Pankaj Oudhia, I tend to agree with Dr. Pankaj Kumar. When a tree is relatively young it is armed with prickles for its protection. It tends to loose these as it grows older and in fact the largest tree I have ever seen in my life was a Red Silk Cotton tree in Periyar WLS which was totally devoid of any prickles and which seemed to be a favourite of the Giant Squirrels. With regards, Neil Soares.
