There are quite a few trees at a spot in Manav Sangrahalaya, Bhopal (near the auditorium and the houses from Himachal and Sikkim) which have a black bark and fruits-berries that resemble a variety of jamun and attract a lot of birds. A person who works there told us that these were sandalwood trees of a black/?red variety. We have nurtured a few of its saplings hoping to see them grow into larger trees primarily because of their bird attracting properties but then a google search left us unsure about the actual id of this tree. Have posted a picture of a sapling (which can give us some idea of the leaf) and will be grateful for the id if possible. The picture is not clear ... will be able to help you, as he collects the seeds of Sandalwood trees. i think this is eucalyptus sapling. I also think Eucalyptus |
