“Make assumption if you must, but make not the mistake of assuming that your assumption is always right.”
― Abhijit Naskar
Last weekend, VT and I stepped out on an errand. When we reached the location, I spotted this huge tree that I couldn’t stop admiring. At the first sight, it looked like a Banyan tree but then I noticed, it wasn’t a banyan tree. This one was a huge Rubber tree. Since that Saturday, I have spotted multiple Rubber trees in Bangalore and do you know what lesson I got from that? Never assume!
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature hosted on this blog on every 2nd and 4th Thursday of a month. The next edition will go live on March 10, 2022. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog, tell me where did you spot the tree and link it back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.

With my limited knowledge of trees of your area, I would have thought banyan tree, too. (We have some in our state of Florida). I’ve never seen a rubber tree, to the best of my knowledge. Here’s my entry: https://ramblinwitham.blogspot.com/2022/02/snow-squall-thursdaytreelove.html

Wow, truly a venerable tree! I see rubber trees only in flowerpots at homes, honestly, they are little and somehow boring…
I’m living in a small town in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany…here are some town beech trees

Assume nothing is a lesson I am learning now. It’s a good one to keep reminding me of. I remember seeing one rubber tree as a kid, but it’s been ages. Must see and learn a lot about trees.
Looks like my post reverted to draft. Not sure if I changed something that caused this to happen. So, Here’s my link: https://www.jayanthyg.in/thursdaytreelove-8-frozen/
