Satish ji, I actually assumed that Anjani (as it is the case with Matheran) would be the prime fruiting tree for these squirrels but the story turned different there. There were many Umber (Ficus racemosa) and few Jaamun ((Syzygium cumini)) too, both playing a good role for these squirrels . Though Anjani (Memecylon umbellatum) dominated the forest on lower ridge. Perhaps there it must be prime fruiting tree for them.
