Dear friends, I thought it would be interesting to know names of some roads/areas in Mumbai (Bombay) named after trees.
1. Laburnum Road - Here lots of Laburnum trees (cassia fistula)were growing once, but alas, now there is not a single Laburnum tree found on this road. 2. Phanaswadi - Kalbadevi - Not a single jack fruit tree in that area now. 2a. Ambewadi 3. Bhendi Bazar - Bhendi (Thespesia) or Umberella trees used to grow in the areas now congested with markets. 4. Anjir wadi - near Mazgaon- Fig trees used to grow in that area. 5. Tamarind Lane in Fort - Now there is not a single Tamarind tree there. 6. Wadala - named after the Banyan trees (Wad in Marathi) that used to grow in that area.
