Kindly identify this tree growing in Delhi. The plant has almost shed all its leaves and is sprouting new ones. The berries are about 1.5-2.0 inches in diameter.

Thank you.

With best regards,

Chitralekha

Melia azedarach?

Just a guess from the few leaves visible.

No, the berries are much bigger and yellow like those of ber (Ziziphus) with the round type fruits. Melia azedarach has just started flowering in Delhi.

Chitralekha Ji,

Perhaps a close up of a fallen fruit will help?

Regards,

Aarti

I have attached some more photos. The fruit has only one black seed inside surrounded by translucent fleshy pulp (aril?) which seems to turn black on injury. Leaves appear to be simple. Could it be Diospyros montana?

Regards,
Chitralekha

Hi,

It looks more like Diospyros cordifolia.

Thank you. In flowersofindia site, D. cordifolia is given as synonym of D. montana. Which is the correct name?

WISH YOU ALL A VERY HAPPY HOLI
