If people aren’t laughing at you, you aren’t saying anything very unusual. So let your voice be loud and strong, dare to try things that may fail. ~ Joline Godfrey
A few weeks back, we had stepped out to the east of the city and while VT was parking the car, I spotted this tree. I have never seen a tree with rust colored leaves before. Never ever in this area in many years. I know this road and I used to frequent it. I would have had to cross the road to get a close look and we were running late, so I walked back, clicked a few shots from afar and here it is. I tried google search to figure out the type of tree but no luck so any help will make me very happy.
But this was the joy I was looking for that day. Hope you all have been well. Sending you some good vibes from Bangalore, India.

An unusual tree indeed!!! Wonder what it could it be? Silver Oak? Maybe next time you can try to get closer to the tree. A powerful quote to match this tree!! Here is my post https://yenforblue.blogspot.com/2023/07/creeper-or-tree-thursdaytreelove.html?m=1

I can’t identify your mystery tree, either but it’s so (for me) unusual. If I saw a tree like that I’d think it was a diseased tree – is there some kind of rust disease hitting trees in India? Right now we have an ash blight where we live killing off those wonderful trees. Maybe something similar? That’s all I can think of. If you find out could you post that? Here’s my post – https://ramblinwitham.blogspot.com/2023/07/a-tree-of-plymouth-thursdaytreelove.html

I will for sure post if I get to know. I haven’t seen any other tree like this so maybe this tree is diseased but not all. Thanks, Alana.

The quote made me laugh gently in a very good way. Whatever kind of tree that is, it is still giving the relief of shade. Here’s my latest tree love: https://joannaoftheforest.wordpress.com/2023/07/13/tree-love-at-the-intersection/

The only rusty coloured leaves I’ve seen were on an acer but that is not an acer. Most unusual. I tried using an app on my phone to identify it but it was too blurry with it being a photo of a photo.

That’s one beautiful color tree, the has adrorned.
Not sure but have seen a similar tree in Nilgiris.
This seems to be a Cedar or Cypress from the leaves.
Even if we fail to identify the tree, will it stop giving shade or stop being beautiful… Just thinking…
Thanks for sharing.
