our surroundings, trees are used functionally to improve the
quality of environment particularly in urban areas, where the
environment is degrading at a faster rate. The significance of
growing trees is widely understood in recent days. The book on
'Flowering Trees' begins with describing India's heritage in
growing trees, the spiritual and religious significance of trees
and role of trees in indigenous landscaping and sacred groves,
where their main function is conservation of biodiversity. The

glare, climate modification, pollution control, their ecological
value and various uses for aesthetic purposes are dealt with in
detail in this book. Avenue planting is also described in detail.
Principles and designs for planting trees, methods of planting,
cultural practices, pruning, problems in tree growing and various
methods to overcome them are also described. The psychological
effects of plants on human beings and the astrological significance
of trees are discussed in this book. The book includes detailed
