As far as I can tell, some of the aspects in your images are in line with Moringa concanensis. To my knowledge, pink-tinged flowers are not described in M. oleifera.

Introgressions between M. concanensis and M. oleifera are known to occur in India. Since the former has not been reported from Nepal and the tree posted by Saroj ji being cultivated, it would be interesting to investigate if this is a true M. concanensis or an outcome of hybrid seed.

Best wishes, Viplav

For me it's M. concanensis Nimmo. , I have seen M. concanensis tree in Rajkot, Gujarat. Where main base is M. concanensis (corky bark,pinktinged flowers) , it's second branch develops sweet fruits(M.oleifera).

Thanks & Regards

M. concanensis fruit is bitter in taste so we can't eat more,it is used as a medicinal purposes. (https://www.researchgate.net/publication/224898487_Traditional_Medicinal_Knowledge_on_Moringa_concanensis_Nimmo_of_Perambalur_District_Tamilnadu).
