Name: unknown
Location: left of right gate, 5 Berlie St, Evelyn Villa
Status: Alive - has begun flowering
Notes: BBMP "contractor" had planted a silver oak sapling in June but this sapling is directly under electric lines. Replaced with Calliandra haematocephala, Powder Puff Tree in July 2016. Looks like that must have died as there is now a different sapling there.

B-9a: SAPLING Thespesia populnea (KILLED)
Name: Portia Tree / huvarasi
Location: 4/1 Berlie St "The Regency"
Status: planted 16/6/16. Killed 17/6/16.
Vandalised the following day - sapling and tree guard ripped and thrown on opposite side of road. Sapling could not be saved. Resident's car was parked over spot. Spoke to tenant who assured me that sapling was there the night before. Spoke to owner who is a tree lover. No clue who did this, but must assume one of them did, as no other motive to remove except for parking space.
ACTION:
1. Do not replace sapling.
2. Always ensure that residents aren't vandals BEFORE planting a sapling for them. (Haste makes waste! Which is why I will not plant more saplings until proper planning is done).

Notes:
13/7/16: The fallen branch was removed by BBMP Forest Cell workers. Note: this tree, although healthy, may be IN DANGER OF BEING CHOPPED DOWN by local residents who are worried that more branches would fall and damage property/human life. It does not need chopping down for this, but could do with some pruning (crown reduction), we can see if the Forest Cell would be willing to prune some of the lengthier branches to lessen the likelihood of branches breaking off in the future.
If you see this tree being cut down, ask to see signed permission from the Forest Office. Also, call me immediately! And the media :-)
10/7/16: Large branch of this tree broke off and has not fallen, but got entangled in tiles and railing of a rooftop on Sterling Place. If it falls, will do a lot of damage:

ABOUT: Bauhinia - The Orchid Tree
Bauhinia - in Kannada known as deva kanchan or basavana pada (buffalo foot) and you can see why, from the shape of its leaves. In Hindi, it's kachnar. In English, it is sometimes called the Camel Foot tree, or Butterfly Tree, or Mountain Ebony. And of course, because of its extraordinarily beautiful flowers, it's also known as the Orchid Tree.
We have quite a few Bauhinias here in Langford Town, and in Richmond Town too. Sadly for them, they have been planted below electric lines, and are annually subjected to what the KEB likes to call "tree trimming".
This picture is actually not the work of the KEB, but of some misguided "gardener". Unfortunately, the KEB does an equally monstrous job of hacking and ripping branches, and there are tons of similarly mutilated bauhinias in my neighbourhood. They survive .. somehow, in India, almost everything does, doesn't it? But I'm hoping that in future, we'll be able to trim and prune properly in a way that neither human safety nor tree health is compromised.
I'm not entirely sure if the trees we have here are x blakeana or purpurea. I think the latter .. will confirm one day!
Here's a link to an interesting page about the Orchid Tree.
Project Vruksha has some lovely photos and information.

B-9: Bauhinia
Name: Orchid tree - basavana pada
Location: 3 Berlie St, "Amber", outside security kiosk
Action:
1. Trim heavier side at some point to restore balance.
Status:
15/7/16: have made peace with them, after explaining how the tree was damaged and unbalanced after cutting this way. They are now also taking good care of two saplings planting outside their place last month. All's well that ends well. Note: the heavier side of this tree will need proper pruning at some point in the future, but it's not urgent.
26/6/16: afternoon/evening - badly hacked by gardener Babu on Sunday 26/6/16 on orders from resident/mgrSalma? Large branches were unnecessarily removed (no electric lines in way) and removal was ripping, not proper cuts. Tree is now heavily imbalanced with almost entire weight over road. Earlier that morning NT had trimmed very low hanging branches over road, and resident has presumably taken this as an invitation to rape the tree, although had specifically told both resident and security not to touch the tree, that I would come and trim as necessary in the proper manner. Even I do not have authority to make the huge cuts that they have made .. minor trimming of branches under 2 inches diameter is permitted, but anything more requires written approval from the Forest Cell/Forest Office, which I doubt they had. Other residents I spoke to tried to say that the KEB and Corporation had come to cut the branches. On Sunday??? Yeah, right. Plus, the KEB had already finished cutting necessary branches that were a risk to electric lines on Berlie St over a week ago. They obviously did not see the need to cut this one.
