Dear Vijayasankar,
Thanks for the ID. I saw this in a local nursery in Bangalore. He had
planted 2 of these few years back in his nursery. I was trying to ID it and
determine its habit to see if I can plant this in our community. Is
this "Pseudobombax
ellipticum" or "Pachira aquatica"?
Any info in the growth habit of this? How tall does it grow, canopy size,
growing requirements? Is this a native tree?
Thanks
Satish
