Nice pictures!

I think the picture of leaves are taken sometime during the monsoon. Because there wont be any leaf on the plant during March!

It is difficult to climb the tree!

... talking about fresh foliage, some of the saplings have their leaf surface as large as 2 - 3 ft long and wide ... there is one post from Satish Phadke ji showing it ... https://groups.google.com/d/topic/indiantreepix/usGnEUBtAuQ/discussion
