Neil on a lighter vein I was wondering what would your stand be if at all the world becomes visa less and passport less for travel for human beings ! ! Also I think at present some non-indigenous birds must be coming and feasting on the fruits from your trees! regards, Rashida.

It is an extremely fast growing tree. A few years later considering it to be the exotic Persian Lilac / Melia azedarach [ though now known to be native to the sub-Himalayan & Shivalik tracts of India] had chopped it down. About 3 years later on checking the area was surprised to find that it had shot up again to its original size. Once again carried out a demolition exercise. This was about 7 years ago. Last Sunday, after my recent gaffe on this group, where I had mistakenly identified Rashida’s photograph of M.azedarach as Azadirachta indica [Neem], decided to check on the plant again and was amazed to find that like the proverbial phoenix it had resurrected itself and is flourishing again. As am now aware that M.composita is found naturally in deciduous forests of the Sahyadris, have decided to let it grow. Sending a few photographs. With regards, Neil Soares. P.S. – Solicit views [especially of Mr.Ingalhalikar] on how prevalent this tree is in the wild.
