Dear Dr. Pankaj and Neil Thanks for your responses. I checked a couple of sources on sapium sebiferum- one indicated that the tree grows to about 6 m. The one I spotted is over 12 m I think. Also, does the Chinese tallow shed all it's leaves and go completely bare?
I will try to see if I can get clearer, larger pictures and share in the next few weeks.
