Tree for ID (26.0810 NSJ)

[Narendra Joshi]

Dear friends, Attached herewith pictures of a tree for ID. The photo was taken in Jan-09 near Amboli forest region. The tree was full with honeycombs, so a close-up is not available. Around 40 honeycombs were noticed on that tree. The nearby people told they never remove the bee-hives from that particular tree. The tree was around 35 to 40 feet tall. With Regards, Narendra Joshi

To me this looks like a wild Mango tree. A close up would have been helpful. However, I have seen a similar wild mango tree on which there were at least 60 bee hives. Every year they come and colonize the same mango tree during honey season.
Regards
Yazdy.

Looking at the greyish trunk, I would have gone with Jamun.

Possible, a closeup would have helped, it is difficult to judge. By Jamun , I suppose, Dr. Pankaj means Jawa plum?
