May I request ID of this tree species. From Nepal India boarder in Eastern Nepal.

A 15 m tall tree. Fruit is very hard and composite. When fruit is opened it looks like Annona.

Is it Diospyros maritima? I am not sure.

It is not Diospyros maritima!

Thank you, Its not Diospyros. Fruit doesn’t match.

Siphonodon celastrineus, Celastraceae,

Please have a look into the fruit. May be you have other thoughts.
