Replies from Pankaj ji from whatsapp: 1. Just an observation. If you look closely the stalk under the fruits are channelled and the base of that stalk is segmented. Which basically means that the fruits have been attached to a petiole and the hey are not on peduncle. But yes the fruits do look like Semecarpus anacardium. So it means someone is indeed playing a trick. 2. Same goes for this plant. Semecarpus leaves I don’t remember they turn reddish but yes Kendu/Tendu does have reddish leaves in the beginning.
