Hello, The plant in the picture is Terminalia arjuna. Here in Mumbai we have a few trees in the Zoo and one near BPT gardens. The fruits of all these trees differ in size from one another. Flowering of one of the trees in the zoo is early while some flower late. These are my personal observations as i have done detailed study of this species.
