\n<\/span>Requesting to please provide ID of this <\/span>tree<\/span> captured <\/span>near Manikaran, HP in October 2014<\/span>, if possible, considering that it is a long shot and was clicked from a moving vehicle.
\n<\/span>It looked a bit different than all the surrounding vegetation and hence clicked the pic out of curiosity. This must have been cultivated as it was seen in the premises of a bungalow.
\n<\/span>Is it some <\/span>Populus<\/em> species?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
