This document discusses landscaping architecture and provides information about various trees. It begins by defining landscaping architecture and describing the purpose of planting trees, such as providing shade, reducing cooling costs, and beautifying and purifying the air. It then discusses selecting trees according to climatic requirements, including tropical, sub-tropical, and temperate trees. The document also covers growth habits, leaf types, and provides details on the uses, special characteristics, and costs of 15 different tree species.

2. An Expanse Or Scenery That Can Be Seen In A Single View.
It Refers To Any Activity That Modifies The Visible Features Of An
Area Of Land, Including Nature, Natural And Human Elements.
The Art Of Arraging Or Modifying The Features Of A Landscape, An
Urban Area Etc. For Asthetic Or Practical Reasons.

3. • Planting Trees:-
Planting Of Trees Is Done For The Purpose-
1. To Provide Shade And Shadows At the Certain Area.
2. Since It Provides Shadow, It Reduces Artificial Cooling Costs.
3. Obviously, It Looks Beautiful And Purifies The Air Which Is Submerged
With Various Toxic Gases And Pollutants.
4. If We Installed it On the Boundary Of The Site, It Is Very Useful When Dust
Storm Coming To The Site And Trees Barricates That Storm To Allow
Purified And Cool Air.

4. • According To Climatic Requirements:-
1. Tropical plants:- originate in tropical climates with a year-round summer-
like growing season without freezing temperatures. Ex- banana, mango,
papaya.
2. Sub-tropical:- plants cannot tolerate severe winter temperatures but
need some winter chilling. Ex- citrus, dates, figs.
1. Temperate-zone:- plants require a cold winter season as well as a summer
growing season, and are adapted to survive temperatures considerably
below freezing. Ex- apples, cherries, peaches.

5. Tropical Zone Sub-Tropical Zone Temperate Zone

6. Higher elevations have increasingly shorter growing
seasons due to colder temperatures. High
elevations have drier soils, stronger light, persistent
winds, and greater temperature changes.

7. • Herbaceous plants have non-woody stems.
• Woody plants have woody stems that
generally live for several years, adding new
growth each year.
• Deciduous plants shed all leaves at
approximately the same time annually.
• Evergreen plants retain some leaves longer
than one growing season so that leaves are
present throughout the year.
• Semi-evergreen refers to plants that may
retain their leaves, depending on the winter
temperature and moisture.
• Broadleaf plants have a broad leaf blade
(e.g. ash, maple, lilac and beans).
• Narrowleaf plants have needle-like (e.g.
pine, spruce) or awl-like (e.g. junipers)
leaves.
• Grass-like plants have narrow leaves,
usually arising from the base of the
plant. The leaves may be soft (ornamental
grasses) or stiff (yucca).

8. ‘Growth habit’ refers to the genetic tendency of a
plant to grow in a certain shape and to attain a
certain mature height and spread.
• Trees:- typically have a single trunk and mature
height over 12 feet.
• Shrubs:- typically have multiple-branches from
the ground and a mature height less than 12 feet.
• Vines:- have a climbing, clasping, or self-clinging
growth habit.

9. Many landscape plants could be considered small trees or large
shrubs. The terms "tree" or "shrub" would be applied based on the
general appearance of the plant.
Plants have vastly different growth habits. It is important to understand
growth habits in order to make knowledgeable decisions regarding plant
placement, plant selection, pruning and maintenance requirements.
The species, cultivar, and/or variety name sometimes indicates some
characteristic of growth habit.

10. • Scientific Name:- Pterospermum
acerifolium.
• Speciality:- Its An Insecticide,
Prevents Insects And Pests To Enter Into
The House.
• Cost:- Rs. 20 Sampling.

11. • Scientific Name:- Hyophorbe
lagenicaulis.
• Speciality:- It is a myth that the trunk is a
means by which the palm stores water. His
tree is slow growing but can reach heights
that range from 12 to 20 feet. Its slender,
lanced-shaped leaflets are dark green,
approximately 2 feet long, and grow
opposite from one another to form a "V"
shape on the rachis pr middle of the frond.
• Cost:- Rs. 100

12. • Scientific Name:- Alistonia Venenata.
• Speciality:- Alstonia trees are used
in traditional medicine. The bark of
the Alstonia is a source of a remedy
against malaria, toothache, rheumatism and
snake bites. The latex is used in treating
coughs, throat sores and fever.
• Cost:- Rs. 150

13. • Scientific Name:- Polyalthia longifolia.
• Speciality:- commonly planted due to its
effectiveness in alleviating noise pollution. The
leaves are used for ornamental decoration
during festivals. The tree is a main attraction
in gardens throughout India. In past, the
flexible, straight and light-weight trunks were
used in the making of masts for sailing ships.
That is why the tree is also known as the ‘Mast
Tree’. Today, the tree is mostly used for
manufacturing small articles such as pencils,
boxes, matchsticks, etc.
• Cost:- Rs. 30

14. • Scientific Name:- Mesua ferrea.
• Speciality:- The flowers, leaves, seeds and
roots are used as herbal medicines in India and

India and placed in cupboards to prevent
insects eating the clothes and also while
storing rice in tins. Neem leaves are dried
and burnt in the tropical regions to keep
away mosquitoes.As an ayurvedic herb,
neem is also used in baths.
• Cost:- Rs.20.

16. • Scientific Name:- Delonix regia.
• Speciality:- Its an endangered species,
but still it is widely cultivated all around the
world. In addition to its ornamental value, it
is also a useful shade tree in tropical
conditions, because it usually grows to a
modest height (mostly 5 meters, but it can
reach an maximum height of 12 meters).
• Cost:- Rs. 15.

17. • Scientific Name:- Syzygium cumini.
• Speciality:- Its wood is used to make
cheap furniture and village dwellings
though it is relatively hard to work on. The
fruit has a combination of sweet, mildly
sour and astringent flavour and tends to
colour the tongue purple. The seed is also
used in various alternative healing systems
like Ayurveda (to control diabetes, for
digestive ailments). The pulp of the fruit,
extracts from the bark and seeds is of
great benefit when it comes to lowering of
blood glucose level.
• Cost:- Rs.25.

18. • Scientific Name:- Psidium guajava.
• Speciality:- The fruit is having great
nutritional value. Its oil is used in various
cosmetic products. In other countries, its
wood is used in barbeque since the wood is

• Speciality:- In ayurveda, it is used in a
Rasayana formula, clearing digestion and
acidity due to pitta (heat), sometimes with
other mild sours. Mango trees can be
converted to lumber once their fruit bearing
lifespan has finished. The wood is
susceptible to damage from fungi and
insects. The wood is used for musical
instruments such as ukeleles, plywood and
low-cost furniture.
• Cost:- Rs. 100.
