Didi, I absolutely agree with you, yes, you have got the right word - married couple. Many thanks for pointing out the differences between the strangler and the married ones. The term 'married' itself explains it all.
As for the ID of the NEEM, it is not that essential to me. I click only for the fun of it! What would i do by getting all those ID(s)! I'm not doing any research work! I attached the image of the leaves only because i thought to myself that Usha Di might ask me about the ID of the NEEM tree!
