Rebuilding Chennai's green cover - Tip 2

Apartment residents and gated communities

Common spaces and drive ways in apartments can be used to plant tree samplings. Care should be taken to leave atleast 10 x 10 inches of space around the tree without concrete to allow the roots to grow. Trees help reduce soil erosion and better water harvesting during the winter.


Indian Almond or Badam trees are best suited for common spaces in apartments as they provide good shade and grow well in the soil & climate of Chennai. It’s a treat to watch the squirrels pick on badam fruits during the season.
Ashoka trees are tall and provide good shade even to the top floors of the apartments..
