Location Pune:
Habit:Small tree
Inflorescence: Cauliflorous, compound capitulum
Flower: very sticky when touched.
- To me this looks like a female tree of Broussonetia papyrifera.
- Yes, .. ji is right on Broussonetia but this is a fruit (known as Paper Muberry). The female flowers are greenish and hairy.
- Is the fruit edible? 
- Monkeys do like it, dont know about humans. I tried once, but it was almost tasteless...

Trees of Bangalore - RA - Broussonetia papyrifera - Paper Mullberry Tree:  Paper Mulberry is a deciduous tree growing to 15 m tall, native to Japan and neighbouring areas. The leaves are variable in shape, just like Mulberry leaves. They can be ovate heart- shaped to deeply lobed. They are 7–20 cm long, with a rough surface above, fuzzy-downy below and a finely toothed margin. The male flowers are produced in an oblong inflorescence, and the female flowers occur in a ball, with long hairs on the surface. In summer, the female flower matures into a red to orange, sweet, juicy fruit 3–4 cm diameter, which is an important food for wild animals. The fruit is edible and very sweet, but too fragile to be commercialised. The bark is composed of very strong fibres, and can be used for making high-quality paper. The tender leaves and twigs can be used to feed deer, and the tree is sometimes nicknamed the "Deer's Tree".
A good series on trees of Bangalore by ... with beautiful photographs of foliage, stem, flowers , fruits etc. , which speak visually ( the characters of the tree). Kudos!
A suggestion: If you coulod kindly put the details of location of the tree, it would be helpful to outstation visitors like me who are interested in trees to locate them easily.

Bangalore - RA - Is it Ficus carica or Ficus Palmata?: Some of the trees have simple leaves and some of them have 3 lobes
Some of them have 5 lobes too.
could it be Broussonetia papyrifera by any chance ?
I think ... is right
Not Ficus in which flowers are enclosed in a receptacle.
This could be Broussonetia papyrifera in which flowers are external and in globose heads.
It looks like Broussonetia papyrifera, I haven't seen the mature fruit or flower so got confused.
I didn't realize that the ball with hairs is actually the flower.
I was always looking for the male flower.

Tree id from Corbett region: 1 image. Request help in identifying this tree in Corbett National Park? About 30 feet talk and growing in the grounds of a resort.
I received a reply from another source:
''It has been identified as Chinese paper mulberry- Broussonetia papyrifera - male catkins. Somehow, the leaves are not lobed as seen usually in young individuals and basal part of the tree. It has been identified by ... one of the best Taxonomist of our country. So i am sure there are no chances of confusion''.
So its neither Tetrameles nor a Grewia genus.
Thats nice. My ... cant be wrong. Broussonetia can have this kind of leaves. Not a big deal.
Good to see plant with male inflorescence and unlobed leaves.
Here is somewhat similar

Request help in identifying this tree in Corbett National Park? About 30 feet tall and growing in the grounds of a resort.
This tree has been identified as Tetrameles nudiflora. Can this be confirmed please?
Yes it is Tetrameles nudiflora
To me it looks more like Trewia nudiflora [Petari / Petani] with new leaves and old catkins. [Both Tetrameles & Trewia generally flower in the deciduous state]. Please check the archives of this group for my photographs of this.

broussonita papyrifera or paper mulberry
may and june, in chandigarh
Is it edible.
I believe they are rather sweet, but difficult to keep as the fruits are rather fragile
Very good catch. Broussonetia papyrifera from Moraceae.

Broussonetia papyrifera : (mixed thread): 1 image.
I shall be grateful if any of the learned list members could tell me the name of this tree which grows faster than even poplar.
This tree is 'Paper Mulberry' (Broussonetia papyrifera), usually seen planted along road sides.
It is now considered an invasive species, as it spreads quickly from seeds and root suckers.
Yes Broussonetia papyrifera

Beautiful pictures. I have seen in Lalbagh, Bangalore.
Very good photos. There are many trees near Agriculture college/Fergusson road Pune. This red flowers are difficult to find though.
Male female flowers are different. I think these are males. Please correct me if wrong.
Nice images of female heads with flowers. Male flowers are in hanging spikes. This fast growing tree has naturalized here in Uttarakhand.
Well known for "Tapa Cloth"
