Yes, I found Delleni indica quite common in Kaziranga National Park, Assam. The huge yellowish-green fruits were being consumed by Parakeets and Hoary-bellied squirrels. I was there 10 days ago and didn't see any flowers.

Once I saw W.B. Forest Dept. distributing the saplings free during the Vanomahotsab period (July?) . They have surely enough saplings in their nurseries.

I would be much obliged if someone can help me procure some saplings or seeds or any propogative material. We want to plant these trees as food for elephants.
