Satish: yes isn't that strange? for a tree I have since discovered that the black siris ... albizia with white, light yellow- green-white flowers... botanically a couple of different species (eg Albizia odoritissima, A. lebbeck and A. amara may be ) are planted r for shade and nitrogen fixing abilities in Tea plantations ... ie are not uncommon in planned plantings... yet in urban gardens its a rarity... or as street trees.... urban forestry seems to lack something nowadays...
I want to find a forestry department person/s who can tell me why? We do seem to have some members of forest dept among our members, but I dont understand why they remain silent? Would be lovely to hear their opinions.. or official reason why albizzia lebeck or odoritissima is not planted in urban environment?
