Some earlier relevant feedback:
“The description is not adequate ,but it *could be the Chinese Tallow tree
[Sapium sebiferum].*
With regards,
Neil Soares.”
“Thanks for your responses. I checked a couple of sources on sapium
sebiferum- one indicated that the tree grows to about 6 m. The one I
spotted is over 12 m I think. Also, does the Chinese tallow shed all it's
leaves and go completely bare?
I will try to see if I can get clearer, larger pictures and share in the
next few weeks.
Thanks again
Vishnu”
