This tree is flowering now but the tiny flowers are high up in the tree. I tried my best to take a clear picture for a tight crop. The leaves are entire, glossy and dark green. It seems to me that it could belong to the spike-thorn family. Please advise.

Dear Everybody

I am very interested to see if there is a yellow pigment if the bark is scratched with a knife.

With best wishes, Robert

I managed to visit the tree today and scratched the surface of the trunk. Below a thin skin it was yellow-green. Does that lead us somewhere? Please advise.

Thanks.

Dear Ashwini

Thank you so much. It helps to eliminate the family Celastraceae. The bark of Celastraceae are usually thick and vertically fissured. I am looking forward to learn what it is.

With best wishes, Robert
