This tree was taken here at Muscat, Oman on the 12th of November,2010.
Is it Peepal tree?
The leaves looked slightly different.

Forwarding again for Id confirmation or otherwise please.

Some earlier relevant feedback:

Yes Pankaj ji is right, It is Populus, possibly P. deltoides.  -- Dr. Gurcharan Singh

[Sukla Chanda]

It is Populus deltoides Bartram ex Marshall. The specific epithet "deltoides" comes after the shape of  the leaf blades which is broadly deltoid-ovate.

Thanks,

Sukla

Garg ji, Sukla ji,

Thanks for resurfacing this post and id confirmation.

Those were the initial days when I thought this was a Ficus species.

Regards,

Aarti
