I think you are located near* Bangalore*. What is your requirement / idea of planting ? Make sure. Is it related to commercial purpose or simply ornamentation or both. I will carefully go through your list & then suggest trees / shrubs which can be grown in your area. Nevertheless, I wish to state that *Millingtonia hortensis *( Aakasha mallige ) is not a suitable tree. Meanwhile find out whether you can get the sap-lings of all the trees listed above and suggested by other experts !. In my own experience it is difficult to get the saplings as per one's requirement.
