Diospyros species ABMAY01/02

[Ashwini Bhatia]

I found two trees near a Buddhist temple a couple of days ago that appear to me to belong to Diospyros genus (two different species). These are perhaps cultivars. I suspect the first to be D. montana female and the second D. malabarica perhaps. I could be completely off the mark too. Please advise.

Forwarding again for validation please.

On casually going through their images at comparative images of Diospyros, I feel you may be right. efi pages with images on Diospyros montana & Diospyros malabarica

A few days back I saw one of these trees (D. montana in my email) fruiting. I am attaching photos here. The other tree which I had thought to be D. malabarica may have been the male of the same (or another) species as it had no fruit visible anywhere.

Thanks.
