Mr. Jameel: I will strongly recommend to go for indigenous tree types like Neem, sinmbal, Bacquain, Oak, shehtoot, Jaman etc. Recently you will see in all farm lands and even public parks in new societites, they are planting ornamental bushes and small plants which while look good can never give the benefits of a full grown tree like shade, oxygen and minimal maintenance. It's sad to see that in 30 years or so DHA or any new private housing society has been unable to develop even one park which is full of dense big trees providing shade and stately old look that you see in some of the old parks of Lahore. |

AOA
I have planted Jaman and Popular Trees in the Green Area in front of my house in Rawalpindi. Jaman has slow growth while the Popular grows very fast and gives shade and wood within couple of years
Shahtoot is also a good example. Not only it gives dense shade but also fruit.
Safedah should be avoided as it consumes more water and makes the soil not suitable for cultivation. But it also grows very fast.
I would recommend to plant fruit trees so that shade, oxygen and fruits can be obtained from the trees. Also vegitables should be grown on any available space to control and reduce the kitchen expenses Insha Allah |

Mr. Imran are these plants genetically modified or engineered? If so I fear that it will turn the soil in which they are grown or planted infertile, and that land will never be able to yield crops in future. and over that these genetically modified plants are Haraam to eat in our religion. |
