vegatation at pakistan

In Pakistan??? 🙂 In Pakistan where? So, I’m not joking, but I think Pakistan is great and has several type of landscapes. The northern territories are high mountains good planting here Cedrus deodara and several types of Rhododendron (and lot of other plants which is well known in Europe, for example Prunus avium 🙂 ), the moguls planted huge lines of Populus nigra ‘Italica’ in Kashmir on the edges of the roads.
Southwards the climate is subtropical. Two main situations can occur here. Humid and arid climate. By arid climate you should use deciduous plants, and by humid you can use mostly evergreens. Main trees are Tectona grandis and Shorea robusta. Tectona grandis is deciduous the Shorea can be evergreen and deciduous also it is the question of the humidity of the local climate. These are huge trees. Smaller are Butea monosperma and Magnifera indica they can be used very well in gardens, although for european people these seems to be also huge by the first sight. So according to me in pakistan is very important to use plants which have great shadows, because there can be 45-50 degrees of celsius in summer (at the end of the arid season).
When the garden is near to a river or a lake, or the place is simply swampy you can use Ficus benghalica (it must be solitaire), or different types of Eucalyptus (although these are exotas there). Naturally bamboos can be used everywhere.

Lahore. Do not use cedrus deodara! 🙂 everything else can go. I was afraid of this question. Shrub. I think all kind of shrubs can live there 🙂 So, Yasminum sp. Myrtus, Rhododendron I have already told. There are so many and I know just a few. Something interesting: there are plants which can live in Europe only for one year. These can be by subtropical climate great shrubs. For example Canna indica and Verbena sp. (although these are not native species). Be careful with shrubs! 🙂 Before you start planning read the original story of Riki-tiki-tavi 🙂
