Seed pods were removed (as they are poisonous). There are plenty of buds on the tree although my photo is blurry. The green, smooth bark is apparent.
 My latest observations: New leaf growth, but the "old"leaves are brown with black spots. I'm not sure if that is worrisome...   The focus is "fuzzy" but this leaf has a round, white, "fuzzy" spot on the underside?? Hmmm... The dark brown seeds are visible in the crescent shaped pod in the background.
 On closer examination, I noticed the leaves browning around the edges a few weeks ago. I wondered if the tree was thirsty and watered it more frequently.  The stems and bark are smooth, green with small bumps.  The seed pods are brown and crescent shaped.
