There are differences between the leaves in my garden though as well as the (I do not know what you call it), the stem on which the fruit hangs. They are much longer in the pictures sent by you, at the same time the leaves in your pictures look quite pointed at the end. I have gone through the pictures on Wikipedia and the pictures there do look like in your pictures. To me it is Avocado.
- Your pictures are very much like the ones uploaded by ... - Here are my pics of Avocado in Bangalore.
- Very common tree in Mysore city. It is a back yard tree in houses.
The flower has multiple appendages which remind one of Meliaceae or Celasraceae, but are different. Plesae help ID Avocado or Persea americana. Further look-up on te id explained to me the multiple whorls, flaps on the stamens etc., apparently a feature of the Lauraceae family. Except the gynoecium is hidden on my image Sharing the useful links : www.flmnh.ufl.edu/soltislab/fgp_education/persea.html http://www.backyardnature.net/mexnat/avocado.htm
Location- UTC, Bangalore This tree has green fruits- somewhat guava shaped Difficult again, but looking at the second photograph it could be Hirda [Terminalia chebula]. The size of the fruit (and the location of the tree) leading me to think of Persea americana, the Avacado tree. More pictures should help to confirm. I think ... is right, is the Haas variety of mexican avacado, though the skin is not as dark and granula, but the "irregularity" on the skin on the front fruit in pc 1 seems to be a developing fruit.. AND QUESTION FOR MR AGNIHOTRI: are guavas ever elongated ? cultivars? I have not seen one.... may be even open a fruit if you are allowed to pick one or find a fallen one after a storm or monkeys visit the garden ... one large stone like seed will clinch the diagnosis and if the fruit is ripe, plant the seed with the tip facing upwards, and the flattish base towards the bottom... in wet sand or a glass of water with seeds half submerged.. google it lots of people would have shown pic leaves are open diagnostic... esp for terminalia sp as Neil has shown many times. ENCLOSING A PIC SHOWING THE MEXICAN HAAS variety very young fruits (about a month from being edible and harvestable) fruits and leaves... avocado I will try what you have suggested- the tree was within a fenced area, but I will see if I can get access or find another individual. Will at least take binoculars along to get a closer look. In the enclosed photo, there are rough ridges on the fruit- the one I saw had a smooth surface (dont know if it will get rougher as it ripens). Its butter fruit or avocado. It does become rougher as it ripens. Its everywhere in bangalore. I am amazed at who eats fruits as they are so many of them. The juice is very good. Sold in every juice shop.
...avocado... most likely the tree form not diagnostic since its been pruned a lot.. the fruit skin grain =- avocado... but the leaf veins are a bit different from my leaves i showed yesterday... This is much smaller fruit than avocado, I have seen. Also the leaves are very different yes agree i have my doubts as you see.... but what fruit has such finely granular skin? some citrus? but the leaf ? avocado could you please disperse our doubts ? and tell us why our doubts are not to the mark it seems there are 3 distinct races in avocado as per wiki page. This one may be from west indies

Fruit Trees of Bangalore - RA - Persea Americana - Butter Fruit Tree - Avocado: The avocado (Persea americana) is a tree native to Central Mexico,[1] classified in the flowering plant family Lauraceae along with cinnamon, camphor and bay laurel. Avocado or alligator pear also refers to the fruit (botanically a large berry that contains a single seed[2]) of the tree, which may be pear-shaped, egg-shaped or spherical. Avocados are commercially valuable and are cultivated in tropical and Mediterranean climates throughout the world. They have a green-skinned, pear-shaped fleshy body that ripens after harvesting. Trees are partially self-pollinating and often are propagated through grafting to maintain a predictable quality and quantity of the fruit. Ref.

Casearia graveolens Planted in a bungalow. Don't know when ? The photo of leaves. I doubt this is Casearia graveolens, ... seems inadvertently labelled ... Sorry . So Sorry. This is Persea americana isn't it? Wrongly labelled so accidentally posted during the fortnight. The answer is now known. It indeed looks like Avocado. Disease on Avocado Tree - 050614 - RK : 3 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (4). Bangalore - 02/06/2014 This tree is over 60 yrs old. It has been losing it's branches over the years. The last pic shows the infestation. Not sure whether this is fungus. An inky black fluid is oozing out. Am interested in knowing which disease has affected it. There are 3 possibilities for the drying and resin oozing 1. The main branches got cut, some caterpillar infection may be the there inside the tree 2. The root of the tree got damaged considerably due to construction activity. Piperaceae, Lauraceae and Thymelaeaceae Fortnight :: Lauraceae :: Persea americana :: Binsar, Uttarakhand :: ARKSEP-03 : 8 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (2). Attached are pictures of Persea americana captured at Binsar, Uttarakhand in November 2012. Requested to please validate the ID. Yes, it looks like that but I am not sure. though not all avocado varieties have the usual dark green skin with some sort of granularity on the surface,but this rusty streaked and not so green skin makes me wonder too, though cant absolutely deny your diagnosis. secondly if you could have moved the camera just a tad bit and taken some other section you would have ended up with a "more" sampling of the fruits, as is its the same fruit in both pics. I also wish the back side of the leaves could be seen in clearer light. It would also help if this were a demonstration garden or an orchard where the grower could have helped you out. so finally my question: do you by any chance have more pictures or more info? I tried to find some other pics of the tree, but unfortunately, no more views.... Hopefully, experts suggest the correct ID... I found a lot of images for Avocado varieties... it shows some red streaked ones and gives variety names... there is a comprehensive poster http://lifeisgoodglutenfree.files.wordpress.com/2010/01/avocado-poster.jpgTo me it is Persea americana

Tree for Id ( from Bhutan) - 16032018SH1 : 8 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (3)- 1 Mb or more Tree for id pl. Location - Near Gangtey (Bhutan) Date - March. 2018 Yes, this appears to be a species of Persea but it is difficult to name the species with these images as there are at least 8 species of the genus occurring in Bhutan and without knowing the character of the fruits it seems an impossible task. Moreover, the genus Persea is very closely related to Phoebe and the latter can be distinguished from the former only by the clasping versus spreading tepals in the fruiting stage! A revision of the Indian Lauraceae is very desirable. If cultivated there is a good chance it is Persea americana, Avocado. I don't distinctly remember whether it was cultivated or wild I will also like to go with ... for Persea americana Mill. as per images herein.
