Yes. this is Pongamia pinnata. Very nice shade providing tree, fixes nitrogen and supposed to protect against soil erosion due its lateral root system. I see lot of weird growth on their leaves. Can anyone share what these might be and what causes this? Does not seem to bother the trees though, as they seem to be healthy. This is one of the popular road-side planting trees in Bangalore.
