This monoecious or bisexual tree stands tall outside my place in Indiranagar... Having grown so beautifully over the last fifteen years or so, the whole street has new light to it... We were being bothered to raze it down, chop off its branches for the electric cables, leaf litter and compound wall and whatever else not, but have stood our ground that it's going nowhere and even with mutilating it, have taken a stand on it, that it's only going to be trimmed as necessary... Hopefully, everybody recognizes more of their life giving presence, and work more towards cherishing them rather than tug-a-warring over putting them down or chopping off their branches...
Origin : Africa
Flowering Season: August and December
