1. Understanding What Works in India’s Jumpy Climate
India’s mixed climate makes the idea of a good evergreen screening tree lately a bit of a lottery. What one tree loves in heat might absolutely despise another in cold places. Check with your local trees first; they normally witness things going on their own without much care.
2. A Happy-Making Ashoka Cloaked in Impenetrable Dynamism
An Ashoka tree is preferred even if just because of its gentle growth habit in a tight garden circumstance. For all that, which became the vertical green carpet rooted in soil of one’s own, ensure that an iron-fist feeling was set; give the tree to shield and veil all at once depending upon one’s liking.
3. Clumping Bamboo: A Winner in the Who-Has-Time-to-Wait Category
If patience is not your virtue, go with the winner. It grows fast yet neatly and doesn’t run wild like running bamboos. Listening to the leaves-softly rustling on cool-evenings sometimes sounds ardently therapeutic when much of the day’s been too loud.
4. Champa and Kadamba For The Aromatic Mood
I think most people including myself think privacy when planting these trees—only to then change and love its fragrance later? On a humid night, the smell of one single fragrant bloom from any Champa will send your mood soaring. Kadamba, with its spherical flowers, carries you back to perhaps an era of ancient Indian Gardens.
5. Silver Oak Tames the Evening Light and Adds an Extra Measure of Height
Here comes the drama queen! The tree’s shadow plays will be gentle and dappled. For a recent little garden, it will give a mature air without having to block the sky.
6. Thuja for Coolest Areas
In the frozen-shoulder area of the country’s cooler regions, Thuja is likable enough to pose no problems. It adopts an almost green-wall-like appearance that keeps one from nearly jumping up and down with excitement. Every hoofer can’t be expected to trim the thing by the book.
7. Bottlebrush for Color and Birds
Red, red, red … such a screaming touch to an otherwise nondescript area. However, birds are drawn to it, and that is the very least an otherwise motionless garden can really bear.
8. Neem for The Ultrascreen
Neem will grow happily in whatever soils available—no need for perfect soil here—and even little water once established. This impressive shade canopy offers more than just foliage and that wonderful aroma that stirs up the summer dust of childhood memories.
9. Ficus Benjamina-the Perfect Eye-pleaser with Controlled Fingerhairs
When pruned right, a Ficus above not only becomes a solid hedging/screen, but also a sight for sore eyes. For that matter, a plant of this kind serves as an attractive embellishment for the boundary, practically enhancing the relevance of your neat garden.
10. Urban Indian Laurel in the Concrete Jungle
Cities are not a good place to live for any tree; however, this one tolerates dust and all that. It cannot stand solitude but it makes up by giving a warm feeling to otherwise stuffy, noisy streets.
*11. Mixing One Tree With the Best Trees in the World
The Ashoka may bring different textures to your screens divided into two, maybe more eagerly spreading clumps of bamboo. And should one of these clumps come with a sudden tilt, well, imagine a thin Champa for instance, swaying freely in the cool breeze. Probably leaves the general builder’s imagination, claiming the garden, although not literally, makes it read rather deeply on a sandy hillside through all soaks during the monsoons and the quiet, still wintery mornings, year on year! It turns more than just a sight that backs it up with a degree of privacy; it finally turns into a small patch of personality that can be easily felt only after years of living with it.
