Common selection questions
Which tree for a highway avenue?
Neem across most of North, West and Central India; karanj on saline and coastal stretches; arjuna on moist alignments; jamun where dense evergreen shade and bird value matter.
Which palm survives a North Indian winter?
Silver date palm, Washingtonia, royal palm and Chinese fan palm. Foxtail, bottle and areca palms are cold-sensitive.
What flowers on a median without irrigation?
Oleander, bougainvillea and tecoma at shrub level, with portulaca for ground-level colour in peak summer.
Which grass for a lawn people walk on?
Selection-1 Bermuda. Fine Korean or Mexican Zoysia looks better but does not recover from traffic.

Illustration
Why drawings and not photographs
Every species in this library is drawn rather than photographed. A stock photograph of a royal palm in Florida tells you nothing about how it behaves on a Noida median, and mislabelled nursery photography is one of the reasons the wrong species gets ordered in the first place.
The illustrations encode growth habit — feather palm, fan palm, columnar tree, spreading canopy, clipped hedge, groundcover — so the silhouette itself tells you what shape the plant will make on your site. They also weigh a fraction of a photograph, which keeps these pages fast on a site office connection.
What matters for specification is in the data: mature dimensions, spacing, tolerances, planting windows and maintenance cycles. That is what each page leads with.
