  4. Dr. Kalra,

    I live in Delhi. There is this tree outside my house that looks similar to the Floss tree. However, once humidity drops and the temperature drops, during the night it drops white sticky sap in small droplets. The tree has thorns all over its trunk. Which tree is this? I'm very curious and why does it drop this sap? and any idea how long would it continue?

    Thank you.

    Regards,
    Avinash
