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).

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.
22/6/16: lower branches need trimming
