๐ฑ Story of Mahogany
The tree in the image appears to be a young Swietenia macrophylla, commonly known as Big-leaf Mahogany. It is characterized by its pinnately compound leaves with glossy, lanceolate leaflets. While widely planted in India for timber and shade, it is native to the tropical regions of the Americas. The identification is based on the leaf morphology and growth habit typical of young mahogany specimens found in Kerala.
