what is this tree

[Alok Goyal]

Location- chandigarh

habit- medium sized Tree

habitat- shot at a garden

temperature- 15 degree C minimum

fruits- still raw almost 1inch across, round

taste like that of the raw Terminalia bellirica fruit. tongue and lips feel rough...

fruit very smooth surfaced and shiny

the red leaves are old leaves and about to fall.

new leaves are appearing....

[Vijayasankar]

The globose fruits, and red mature leaves point to Elaeocarpus ganitrus.
(If the id is right) Ripe fruits are purplish blue and the fleshy pericarp is edible. Seen inside is the 'Rudhraksh' !
