Introduction : New leaves on old trees can be puzzling to humans who never get to see their own new cells emerging from their bodies seasonally and this CUBE home lab observer's intrigue was piqued on noticing new leaves in the same old tree that he figured was the same old pongamia pinnata and was further surprised by another pongamia standing next to it with a withered old look in contrast to the fresh one noticed.
Methods :
Day:1
Randomized cluster sampling from trees of pongamia pinnata and then adding on a whim, glyricidia sepium and Dalbergia Sissoo while on the way to a morning bus-stop from Inaamguda, Hyderabad to Narketpally, Nalgonda
Control: 3
Date of observation :5/03/2024
Time of observation : 7:00 AM
Results (Expected outcomes) :
Different trees of the same species have different stages of leaves growing in different individual trees as well as the same individual tree as evidenced by the captured data in images.

Discussion : More research is needed regarding the chronobiology seasonomic changes in various trees as earlier initiated in CUBE labs with mangifera Indica here: https://metastudio.org/t/
Detailed understanding of physiology will enable us to move easier into the realms of pathology as also illustrated here by CUBE labs with the same pongamia pinnata plant: https://smallscience.hbcse.
Interesting correlations and analogies can be drawn into the ontologic realm of competency based education here as cells, be it that of leaves or neurons growing at different times in the same intra as well as interspecies ecosystems give rise to biodiversity that is vital to maintain the longevity of Earth as has been reported earlier here: http://userdrivenhealthcare.

March 19, 2024 update:
Update on general examination features of the same trees previously archived here https://m.facebook.com/story.
The barren leafless tree on the right is now full of leaves while the other tree on the left has started flowering well.
Reviewed the literature on similar observations :
"Each tree has its own blooming cycle. The one opposite starts first, around mid-February, followed by the one in front, early March, and then, the one on the side, by mid-March. By April, they are all done, and the trees wear a darker green canopy that they retain until winter."

[16/10, 13:35] C: Pupae inside folded leaves of Pongamia pinnata. 16/10/2024, NOIDA, U.P.
[16/10, 13:37] C: Many leaves of Pongamia pinnata plant appear to have been eaten by insects.
[16/10, 15:21] PaJR moderator: Seeing the same here in Telangana
[16/10, 17:19] CUBE moderator : Any guess *which insects use Pongamia as Larval Host Plant* and *hence the possible insect that can emerge from this pupa*? @~C
[16/10, 17:20] CUBE moderator : Photos please, to inspire more on Pongama butterflies or moths. @pajr moderator
[16/10, 17:34] PaJR moderator: Pongamia photos on my way back home just now
[16/10, 18:31] CUBE moderator : 👍🤝😇🧐 Do you mean the leaves are eaten by caterpillars? @pajr moderator
[16/10, 18:36] PaJR moderator: Yes caterpillars is a possibility
[18/10, 08:51] PaJR moderator: Thanks for inspiring with the queries that drove me to capture more data on the pongamia research participants I meet daily on my walk to work a while ago
This one shows some tumorous elements that was possibly instigated by an organism that got past the tumor suppressor gene guards of pongamia?
[18/10, 08:53] PaJR moderator: Also saw this other interesting pathology again due to another organism trying to build it's own ecosystem and diversify the pongamia tree's aesthetic phenotype!
