Kusum is a beautiful tree with a broad, shady crown, found widespread in Tropical Himalayas (Punjab to Nepal), India, Ceylon, Burma, Thailand, Indo-China, Malaysia.
.
This tree is mostly noticed because of its bright red leaves when they are new. In India this happens around March. The leaves are pinnate, with each leaf having 2-4 leaflets. Flowers are tiny, occuring in short dense yellow clusters. The flowers are hardly noticeable. The fruit is about the size of a small plum.
.
Kusum fruits are edible, even i have tasted…. Tribals enjoy them..;
.
Plant is so beautiful it changes so many shades of leaves…. i am watching its beauty everyday, for last 2 months and taken so many pictures of its different shades… i don’t know whats special about it, but i love its branching pattern to forming dense canopy;

Kusum leaves beauty:
Attached beauty of  KUSUM tree as well as leaves from MELGHAT TIGER RESERVE.


–  The colourful leaves reminds of the Fall Season in U.S. During that period most of the trees change their
colour and then fall down.



 /wp-content/uploads/2020/10/Picture%20Eggs%20pic.jpg
Insect with eggs:
sending a photograph clicked on 30/03/2011 from Chandigarh. the insect is laying the eggs on the fresh inflorescence of Schleichera oleosa (the Kusum tree). it was in the afternoon around 3:30 pm and the temperature was 15 degree celcius minimum.
    got interested in this picture coz it may be that the larvae which will emerge out would feed on the mature flowers or may be fruits of the tree. so in a way this tree with not so much of thick canopy even in its full foliage
season is source of shelter or food for some other creatures….

– Nice photographs of a Shield Bug [Family Pentatomidae].


– It looks like Tessaratoma javanica Thunberg. My pictures

I think the fruits in the first photograph belong to climber Tinospora.


Agree with … The tree is Kusum [Schleichera oleosa] but the fruit in the first photograph belong to Gulvel [Tinospora cordifolia]

Saw this beautiful tree with tender red foliage at Karla, Lonavala on 7/3/2012.
A medium sized tree on the mountain top.
Please id.


This is the Kusum [Schleichera oleosa] tree.


Thanks for the id. I had guessed it to be Kusum, but as I was wrong last time (it turned out to be Beheda), wanted a confirmation of id.


In field both trees appear same esp. red leaves One can differentiate by leaves. Kusum has compound paripinnate leaves around 3 pairs of leaflets clearly seen in these pictures. Thanks for sharing the beautifully coloured foliage.

If i am right it is Schleichera trijuga or Schleichera oleosa or Kusum. in my area it is called Litchi by local kids and they eat the fruits’ soft juicy litchi like pulp.


Though Kusum is an avenue tree in Delhi, (which, unfortunately, been uprooted on the pretex of development). But I have not seen the fruits and could not think if the fruits could be addible.


Kusum fruits are edible, even i have tasted…. Tribals enjoy them..


I think Schleichera oleosa

Schleichera oleosa, photographed from Delhi

Thanks, …,
Any reasons ?

My first two photographs are in flowering. Last two in fruit don’t differ from mentioned upload.


I don’t see the prickle like formations on your fruits as in … post.


Not a big issue … Fruits have pointed tips. Prickles may be absent or few present. You can see one or two in uppermost fruit in my last photograph.


Thanks, … for clarifying.

Schleichera oleosa Kusum
Look at the leaves: paripinnate with 3 pairs of leaflets


Thank you … of course Kusum…..had never seen Kusum fruits.
This year, they have widened the Shilonda trail….hence have cut down many trees/climbers lining the path…there being no rains so far, Shilondha was not that much fun…..

Leaves are not matching


Check Schlerichera oleosa


It’s leaves are very close to Schlerichera oleosa, but flower arrangement, size, pedicel and anther are not matching, please check collage, right is mine.


Oh actually it looks totally different


I think it is Schleichera oleosa all right.
From what I’ve been seeing, several individuals of S. oleosa tend to go through a spell of dominant male flowers followed by a bisexual phase. Some of the details you have pointed out can vary; there are instances of long-stalked flowers (both male & bisexual) in the eFI archives also. The variation in the length of the staminal filament can be seen in this photograph.


Yes, it is Schleichera oleosa dear …, thank you very much for ID confirmation of my tree and detailed description
