Thank you Saurav for the input. It explains the phenomenon. I have seen it in case of two distinct plant species. ( a ) LIVISTONA DECIPIENS( WEEPING CABBAGE PALM ) ( b ) POLYALTHIA LONGIFOLIA( MAST TREE/DEBDARU/ASOK ) But I have not seen it incase of Santalum album ( CHANDAN ). We are having a CHANDAN tree in our house. I have recorded lot of activities of birds and butterflies on this particular tree. In fact it remains a living laboratory in our house.
