the bright red flowers of the Gulmohar also called the Mayflower trees which are in full bloom. They're vibrant proof of why Bangalore, despite the loss of greenery, is still a Garden City. But the BBMP doesn't think so and has decided not to plant these trees anymore.<div id="poll-widget"><div data-type="in_view" class="tracking_pixel "><img src="https://static.toiimg.com/photo/25581306.cms" alt="1x1 polls"/></div><div class="ge4Md " style="overflow:hidden;transition:height 0.3s ease;min-height:209px"><div data-type="in_view" class="loadable-inview "><div><span class="UzraQ null"><span class="aQKeu loadeblecomponentloader"></span></span></div></div></div></div><br/> It believes they're a nuisance, particularly during the pre-monsoon and monsoon months. But experts differ and point out that they're important for the city.<br/> The branches of such Avenue trees (those which have a canopy and provide shade) are brittle and the roots go very deep. Both these factors make them vulnerable to monsoon wind and rain. "The large trees with deep roots damage sewage lines, boundary walls, sumps and not to talk of traffic blocks caused by fallen branches. The roads get choked and traffic blocked." said Brijesh Kumar, chief conservator of forests, BBMP. This is the local planning authority in charge of urban tree planting<br/> Only planned cities like Chandigarh can accommodate Avenue trees, say urban planners, adding that Bangalore, the second fastest growing city in India, can't do it. "Roads need to be widened and infrastructure developed in the city and trees are the first casualty," said Kumar.<br/><div class="js_tbl_2ad"></div><div class="mgid_second_mrec_parent"><div id="taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-35081677" class="wdt-taboola" data-target_type="mix" data-mode="thumbnails-mid" data-placement="Mid Article Thumbnails 1" data-pagetype="article" style="max-height:415px;overflow:hidden" data-ua-type="2" onclick="stpPgtn(event)"></div></div> Instead, the civic agency is opting for ornamental trees which are smaller, easier to manage and low on 'nuisance value'.<br/> Wooded streets get the thumbs-up from experts who prefer Avenue trees as they play a critical role in lowering the city temperature, intensity of summer heat and pollution levels. Bangalore was cooler and less polluted when Avenue trees grew in abundance. A greater predominance of young trees of smaller species has serious implications for the city's health, say experts.<div class="mgid_country_osv_parent"><div id="ad_6e9c4-osv-mrec-35081677" class="adInv undefined" data-ua-type="2" onclick="stpPgtn(event)"></div></div><br/> "Small, narrow canopy trees have a lower capacity to absorb atmospheric pollutants, mitigate urban heat island effects, stabilize soil and prevent ground water run-off," said Prof Harini Nagendra, <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/azim-premji" styleObj="[object Object]" class="" frmappuse="1">Azim Premji</a> University. Her study titled 'Street Trees in Bangalore: Density, diversity, composition and distribution', highlights the need to protect the remaining street trees, with a focus on large, mature trees and the importance of selecting an appropriate and diverse mix of large and small tree species for new planting.<br/> "Such small trees not native to Bangalore don't contribute much to the overall biodiversity.

They're vibrant proof of why Bangalore, despite the loss of greenery, is still a Garden City. But the BBMP doesn't think so and has decided not to plant these trees anymore. It believes they're a nuisance, particularly during the pre-monsoon and monsoon months. But experts differ and point out that they're important for the city. The branches of such Avenue trees (those which have a canopy and provide shade) are brittle and the roots go very deep. Both these factors make them vulnerable to monsoon wind and rain. \"The large trees with deep roots damage sewage lines, boundary walls, sumps and not to talk of traffic blocks caused by fallen branches. The roads get choked and traffic blocked.\" said Brijesh Kumar, chief conservator of forests, BBMP. This is the local planning authority in charge of urban tree planting Only planned cities like Chandigarh can accommodate Avenue trees, say urban planners, adding that Bangalore, the second fastest growing city in India, can't do it. \"Roads need to be widened and infrastructure developed in the city and trees are the first casualty,\" said Kumar. Instead, the civic agency is opting for ornamental trees which are smaller, easier to manage and low on 'nuisance value'. Wooded streets get the thumbs-up from experts who prefer Avenue trees as they play a critical role in lowering the city temperature, intensity of summer heat and pollution levels. Bangalore was cooler and less polluted when Avenue trees grew in abundance. A greater predominance of young trees of smaller species has serious implications for the city's health, say experts. \"Small, narrow canopy trees have a lower capacity to absorb atmospheric pollutants, mitigate urban heat island effects, stabilize soil and prevent ground water run-off,\" said Prof Harini Nagendra, Azim Premji University. Her study titled 'Street Trees in Bangalore: Density, diversity, composition and distribution', highlights the need to protect the remaining street trees, with a focus on large, mature trees and the importance of selecting an appropriate and diverse mix of large and small tree species for new planting. \"Such small trees not native to Bangalore don't contribute much to the overall biodiversity. They do not attract birds and do not fit into the ecological balance,\" said S Karthikeyan, author of the book 'Discover Avenue Trees'. Past forward Bangalore was famed for its breathtakingly beautiful streets lined with large, canopied ﬂowering trees in the past. Although large-scale urban horticultural plantations were carried out in the early 20th century, most of the trees seen on our streets today date back to the early 1980s when an extensive tree plantation drive was conducted. Species then and now Most commonly found species in Bangalore -- Rain tree, Copper Pod, African Tulip, Pongam, Orchid tree, Gulmohar, Nile Tulip, Indian Cork Species being planted - Pongamia, Neem, Tabebuia, Peltophorum ","@type":"NewsArticle","mainEntityOfPage":"https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/no-more-gulmohars-says-bbmp/articleshow/35081677.cms","inLanguage":"en","headline":"No more Gulmohars, says BBMP","keywords":"Bengaluru news, Bengaluru latest news, Bengaluru news live, Bengaluru news today, Today news Bengaluru,Karthikeyan author,Gulmohars,BBMP,Azim Premji","url":"https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/no-more-gulmohars-says-bbmp/articleshow/35081677.cms","datePublished":"2014-05-14T02:33:00+05:30","dateModified":"2014-05-14T02:34:00+05:30","description":"A walk in Cubbon Park or down Commercial Street around this time of the year leaves you awestruck, thanks to the bright red flowers of the Gulmohar al","thumbnailUrl":"https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/msid-47529300,width-1280,height-720,imgsize-110164,resizemode-72,overlay-toi_sw,pt-32,y_pad-40/photo.jpg","author":{"@type":"Person","name":"Saswati Mukherjee B","url":"https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/toireporter/author-Saswati-Mukherjee-B-479222119.cms"},"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Times Of India","url":"https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.toiimg.com/photo/msid-92877370/92877370.jpg","width":600,"height":60}},"image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.toiimg.com/thumb/resizemode-72,width-1280,height-720,msid-47529300/47529300.jpg","width":1280,"height":720}}</script><script type="application/ld+json">{"@context":"https://schema.org/","@type":"ViewAction","target":{"type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"android-app://com.toi.reader.activities/toi.index.deeplink/t/a/35081677"}}</script></body></html>
