Dear friends,
When my eyes met the glossy fruit, it reminded me of two IDs simultaneously: Yazdi ji and Avocado !!!!
Seen at Kodagu Valley Resort ... a moderate sized sturdy tree ... 30 MAR 11.
If not mistaking, the plant could be Persea americana ... if else, ID please.
At http://www.hort.purdue.edu/newcrop/morton/avocado_ars.html by Morton, J. 1987. Avocado. p. 91–102. In: Fruits of warm climates. Julia F. Morton, Miami, FL. states:
... avocado can be classified as:
A) P. americana Mill. var. americana (P. gratissima Gaertn.), West Indian Avocado;
B) P. americana Mill. var. drymifolia Blake (P. drymifolia Schlecht. & Cham.), the Mexican Avocado;
C) P. nubigena var. guatemalensis L. Wms., the Guatemalan Avocado.
Besides ID, would like to know the variety of the posted plant ... am sure, Yazdi ji will be able to throw some light on species and varieties of Avocado in and around Kerala.
Regards.
Dinesh

Dinesh Valke ji,
It does look like Avocado. There are differences between the leaves in
my garden though as well as the (I do not know what you call it), the
stem on which the fruit hangs. They are much longer in the pictures
sent by you, at the same time the leaves in your pictures look quite
pointed at the end. I have gone through the pictures on Wikipedia and
the pictures there do look like in your pictures. To me it is Avocado.
Regards.
Yazdy.
