This document provides information on different types of plant materials used for landscaping including trees, shrubs, climbers, annuals, bulbs, cacti, palms, ferns and mosses. It describes the classification and characteristics of trees such as their size, growth rate, leaf type and uses. It also discusses factors to consider when selecting trees for landscaping like habitat, height and texture. The document then covers shrubs and their purposes for landscaping. It lists some common plant species and provides their local and scientific names.

PLANT MATERIALS
• CLASSIFICATION: o TREES o SHRUBS o CLIMBERS o Annuals o Biennials o Bulbous plants o Indoor/ live plants o Cacti and succulents o Palms and cycads o Lawn grasses o Water plants o Ferns o Mosses o Lichens
• a woody perennial plant, typically having a single stem or trunk growing to a considerable height and bearing lateral branches at some distance from the ground. • Three main groups of trees – o Broad leafed o Narrow leaved or conifers o Palms and cycads Trees
Selection of Trees in Landscaping o Habitat o Habit o Height o Spread o Trunk height o Texture- Fine, medium and coarse Trees Range of Tree sizes • Dwarf trees (3 to 5m tall) • Medium size (6 to 10m tall) • Tall tress (more than110 m tall). • Giant trees : Ficus bengalensis, Bombax o Growth rate- slow, medium and fast o Leaf retention period- Deciduous, Semi- deciduous and evergreen o Flowering season and peak flowering duration o Flower- Colour, shape, size, fragrance o Fruits- Colour, shape, size, season and duration
Trees for different uses. Roadside plantation oThe primary object of such planting was to make provision for shade to the passers-by. oControl road erosion, beutification, making economic use of timber, flower, fruit. oFor good roadside planting , they should have spreading, dense, shapely crowns and preferably showy scented flowers. oFruit trees should be avoided as far as possible. oTo maintain uniformity a single species should be planted over a long stretch of road. oThis not only improves the avenue but also renders management more economical, planting and replanting easier and exploitation of their commercial possibility viable. oTrees with brittle or thorny branches should not be selected. oDeciduous trees has an added advantage.
Trees for different uses. Planting of trees in parks, large gardens and other public places. o all types of trees – big and small, flowering or folige, conical or spreading can be used for planting in parks and big gardens. o here the importance is given to aesthetics, can be created by mixing different shape, size and color or planting them individually or in groups. oNormally large plants are planted along the boarder and smaller ones towards the centre.
Different landscape uses of trees. •Specimen trees •Shade tree •Flowering tree •Avenue tree •Screening •Wind break •To reduce air pollution
Structural Quality Of Trees
SHRUB •A shrub is a woody or semi-woody perennial plant with little or no trunk and grows up to a height from 50 cm to less than four meters The types of shrubs available for landscaping : oDeciduous bushes oBroadleaf evergreens oNeedled evergreens •It can be used to demarcate boundary, give buffer between spaces and give a sense of place. •It gives free vision and movement
Purposes of planting Shrubs •To enhance the beauty of surroundings •To provide fragrance in the garden •To act as boundary of property line •To divide different areas or features in the garden •Softening harsh building lines •To screen off unwanted sites/ features
Purposes of planting Shrubs •To reduce winds –shrubs and trees can be combined to form an obstruction that will deflect wind above the building •To provide background for growing annual flowers •To reduce soil erosion •To conserve moisture •To discourage weed growth •To provide natural habitat for wildlife especially birds
Landscape uses of shrubs •Specimen plant •Standard •Avenue planting •Hedge •Edge •Under-planting •Rockeries •Cut flowers •Cut foliage •Moonlit gardening-Moonlight gardening relates to plants that show off their textures, colors and sometimes their silhouettes from dusk into the moonlight hours
Shrubbery border- Area of the garden devoted exclusively for growing shrubs planted in a row or rectangular fashion is known as a shrubbery border. Grass: • Grass, any of many low, green, non woody plants belonging to the grass family (Poaceae). • They make good ground cover • They provide variety of texture, color and serve as a transition between two different vegetated areas such as from a shrub to a flower bed. • Ornamental grasses add experience to the landscape. • Helps the surrounding by preventing soil erosion.
Flowers: • A flower, sometimes known as a bloom or blossom, is the reproductive structure found in flowering plants. • They add color and texture to the landscape defining the mood or the context in which it is set in. • Alters and plays with the aesthetic feel of the area. • The add value to the place with their interaction with surrounding flora and fauna.
CLIMBERS Climbers are the group of plants which have weak stems and ability to climb up the support with the help of modified organs via: ,Tendrils, Thorns,Roots, etc. • These climb over walls, arches, pergolas, trellis, pillars, cascade, gates etc…
TYPES OF CLIMBERS According to growth habit, appearance, suitability and uses, climbers are classified as follows: ANNUAL CLIMBERS: Many climbers which grow and flower for several years are perennials and they are valued because once established and trained on support they continue to flower with little care. Grow ,flower and complete the life cycle within a year. Thunbergia alata – black eyed susan
FOLIAGE CLIMBERS: Climbers with beautiful leaves. Both indoor and outdoor Monstera deliciosa Syngonium podophyllum
CLIMBERS PARTIAL SHADE: Trachelospermum jasminoides Quisqualis indica
HEAVY CLIMBERS - Antigonan leptopus Bougainvillea
LIGHT CLIMBERS – thin shoots, neat growth, cover less space Jacquemontia violacea Clitoria ternatea
CLIMBERS FOR SREENING – grow quickly, show thick and neat growth. Clerodendrum splendens Thunbergia laurifolia
Local and scientific names ALBIZZIA JULIBRISSIN – SILK TREE / MIMOSA TREE
Local and scientific names ARTOCARPUS- BREAD FRUIT TREE
Local and scientific names ARTOCARPUS HETEROPHYLLUS- JACKFRUIT TREE
Local and scientific names BAUHINIA – ORCHID TREE
Local and scientific names CASSIA FISTULA – INDIAN LABURNUM, GOLDEN SHOWER
Local and scientific names FICUS – FICUS BENGALENSIS – BANYAN TREE
Local and scientific names FICUS – FICUS BENJAMINA– FIG
Local and scientific names FICUS – FICUS RELIGIOSA – PIPAL TREE
Local and scientific names LEGERSTOMIA. SPECIOSA – PRIDE OF INDIA, QUEEN OF FLOWERS
Local and scientific names MAGNIFERA. INDICA- MANGO TREE
Local and scientific names NYCTANTHES. ARBOR-TRISTIS – CORAL TREE, TREE OF SADNESS
Local and scientific names PLUMERIA – FRAGIPANI, PAGODA TREE PLUMERIA ALBA PLUMERIA RUBRA
Local and scientific names PLUMERIA – FRAGIPANI, PAGODA TREE PLUMERIA OBTUSA
Local and scientific names SARACA ASOCA – ASOKA TREE
