Bare (ThursdayTreeLove)
A wonderfully imposing Peepal standing alone and tall in a parking lot in Pune. Being leafless actually added to its beauty!!

Creeper or Tree (ThursdayTreeLove)
Todays plant is a massive woody liana (creeper) whose trunk can compete with that of any tree. Yes, I am referring to the Bauhinia vahlii of the Caesalpiniaceae family. Though it belongs to the foothills of the Himalayas there are two of them growing quite happily in Pune.

Dancing Tree (ThursdayTreeLove)
Todays tree is unusal species in Pune .. The Ficus natalensis which is a non native and lives in a public park. It has triangular leaves with a typical forked vein.
This tree seems to be dancing.. either it has multiple branches right from the base or more than one sapling was planted together.
Either way, it has a dramatic effect!

Tree Course (ThursdayTreeLove)

This row of Ficus is the star attraction IMO. One of them has fallen but continues to flourish.
