Hi,

Please identify the tree, which has leaves similar to Peepal / Pipal / Sacred Fig / Ficus religiosa.

Characteristics:

Medium sized tree / Fairly straight without much side branches.

Abundance of barks (fairly light-colored) on trunk.

No flowers / inflorescence. At least not visible. May be not mature enough.

No milky sap (unlike the tell-tale of Moraceae / Ficus genus)

Help very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

This would be a help if habit pics and locality are revealed..

Yet, see for Populus sp.

My initial thoughts were the same. Some kind of a poplar. But but but, in Pune?
Do they survive the harsh summers of the near-tropical region? The trees in question are already 10 to 12 years old, with a height of over 15 meters. Also there are no catkins or (visible) flowers. I am baffled. Please help.

Certainly looks like this poplar "Populus deltoides". But the absence of any catkins stumps me. At what stage of growth do they produce catkins? Also, can they flourish in Pune's semi-tropical climate? The office I work has at-least 20 trees like this, of fairly good growth (around 12 to 15 meters height)

Thanks for your help profoundly.
