Hi, These are adventitious roots. Have noticed them on several of my trees including Asana [Bridelia spinosa], Karmal [Dillenia pentagyna], Jarul [Lagerstroemia speciosa] and even Mohua [Madhuca longifolia var.latifolia]. My photographs are available at this link : https://groups.google.com/group/indiantreepix/browse_thread/thread/5aca0defbf9adbde/94f899f6aff0a591?hl=en&lnk=gst&q=Adventitious+roots+on+Asana+Neil+Soares#94f899f6aff0a591 With regards, Neil Soares.

(out of 40 S. cumini trees 6 trees having this kind of growth) Is there any kind of disease or gall or else. Thanks B.
