User's notes

Healthy multi–trunked tree. Identified this tree by foliage alone, at last, after walking by this tree, along this red arrow walk usual return track, for years, never yet seeing any fertile material to make the identification easier. Back in the office i worked harder than before on identifying the foliage alone. The leaves including the leaflets, their shapes and their venation patterns, give me confidence in this identification at last after the years of walking by and admiring this multi-trunked tree which previously since first seeing it ca. 2012 just recognised to plants' botanical family : Sapindaceae . So far this season still not seeing any flowering yet, for double check confirmation.
