Thanks! Indeed looks like that! What about the droplet phenomenon? That was my first introduction to the tree; someone told me about the droplets. After that, I myself tried it and experienced it too. If you stand beneath it for about a minute you are sure to get a couple of tiny drops (at least in this season). May be a rather common phenomenon associated with some other trees too; can someone tell me about it? Wish I could verify the local name it from someone locally, but these are planted quite out of town!
