Think before you plant tree

For every tree there are some ideal conditions for its growth depending upon the space, soil and geographical conditions. These essential aspects are to be taken in to consideration before planting a sapling. The ideal thing would be to consult a nursery or some voluntary organizations which advise you about all necessary information not only for healthy growth of the plant but also the risks involved.

Down south growing coconut trees is considered to be normal and mandatory in every household and these can be very dangerous when they are grown by the side of the road and coconus if and when not plucked on time can fall on passers .This has hapened so many times in my neighborhood and in my own house we had to cut two trees because finding coconut pluckers has become a very difficult task now...

Here is my own example. Just by the boundary wall separating the neighboring flat and mine two coconut trees were planted. Now both the coconut trees spread its roots deep in to the wall and its surroundings breaking the boundary wall. Now there is a tussle between the two flats on who is going to build the wall.

In northern odisha there is trend about creating a big garden in front of house.

The practice of creating a garden in front of the house is prevalent almost everywhere .

If one gets to travel in rural India especially in UP/Bihar one can see native trees of very wide girth and a large foliage covering really large circular area. They look massive and ancient. In cities because of congestion straight growing trees like pendula are grown.

Fortunately in Southern India the trees which are quite old were kept untouched. In Bangalore which is aptly named as the city of Gardens the Authorities took lot of care to keep the Trees in their original beauty.

Planting of trees not only deflect sun shine and imparts coolness but also brings back smile to earth due to preservation of ecological balance.

There is a system and method for planting of trees to reap the fruits of plantation. The thread enlists a series of DOs and DONTS for plantation. Unless they are followed, there is no use of mere plantation.

We had a similar problem a few years ago with a massive jackfruit tree which was in our compound close to the border but was claimed to be theirs by our neighbors because of the value it has. Anyway their case was dismissed and we cut the tree and built a wall...either way trees too can cause too many complications when they are planted without forethought !

True. Even the best of the things can create havoc, if they are robbed of their natural conditions and under which alone benefits are reaped.

In matter of planting trees it is generally afterthoughts which occur after many years. I have a very tall tree in my compound which looks majestic from far but generates lot of leaves etc on the ground. My mali is forever complaining but I am not able to bring myself round to get it cut. I agree with you that we must plant trees with a peep into their future growth.

Yes. It underlines the importance of having vision. Every seed that's sown will not become an Oak, if vision is absent.

No doubt it is good to have trees and plants around us since it changes the whole look of your house and surroundings...I too hate cutting even a single branch of the trees in my house unless it is absolutely essential ! Most of the trees have been planted by the previous owners and are now full grown giving us shade and an abundance of fruits...During summer months one can immediately make out the difference in temperature when you come from outside. My garden and house remains cool because of the trees surrounding it...I am all for growing trees but it shd not come in the way of other people's freedom !

I stayed in an industrial township for twenty years before moving to my own house. Residents before me had planted a wide variety of fruit and other trees around the houses and along the roads and in gardens. It attracted a large variety of birds, many of which seemed exclusive to the township. There was an appreciable dip in temperature when one entered it from outside. I have also seen in monsoon rains falling on the township while it is dry outside- a fact many have noted. I delayed moving to my own house for as long as i could officially stay in such nature friendly township. Trees really are our fiends if planted and nourished properly.

Here is a funny incident. My neighbor's mango tree's branches are almost in the periphery of my flat. He comes regularly to collect his mangoes because the trunk is in side his flat. But he never comes to clean the foliage.

This happens all the time, you pluk the fruits from the branch that is in your compound and the person will have a fit :cheer: ...If it is a nusance, you have the right to ask him to cut it since legally he has to maintain the trees wthin his compound.

In Indian conditions, annoying a person annoying you is generally considered very annoying, more so if they are your neighbors.
