2. An Expanse Or Scenery That Can Be Seen In A Single View.
It Refers To Any Activity That Modifies The Visible Features Of An
Area Of Land, Including Nature, Natural And Human Elements.
The Art Of Arraging Or Modifying The Features Of A Landscape, An
Urban Area Etc. For Asthetic Or Practical Reasons.

3. • Planting Trees:-
Planting Of Trees Is Done For The Purpose-
1. To Provide Shade And Shadows At the Certain Area.
2. Since It Provides Shadow, It Reduces Artificial Cooling Costs.
3. Obviously, It Looks Beautiful And Purifies The Air Which Is Submerged
With Various Toxic Gases And Pollutants.
4. If We Installed it On the Boundary Of The Site, It Is Very Useful When Dust
Storm Coming To The Site And Trees Barricates That Storm To Allow
Purified And Cool Air.

4. • According To Climatic Requirements:-
1. Tropical plants:- originate in tropical climates with a year-round summer-
like growing season without freezing temperatures. Ex- banana, mango,
papaya.
2. Sub-tropical:- plants cannot tolerate severe winter temperatures but
need some winter chilling. Ex- citrus, dates, figs.
1. Temperate-zone:- plants require a cold winter season as well as a summer
growing season, and are adapted to survive temperatures considerably
below freezing. Ex- apples, cherries, peaches.

5. Tropical Zone Sub-Tropical Zone Temperate Zone

6. Higher elevations have increasingly shorter growing
seasons due to colder temperatures. High
elevations have drier soils, stronger light, persistent
winds, and greater temperature changes.

7. • Herbaceous plants have non-woody stems.
• Woody plants have woody stems that
generally live for several years, adding new
growth each year.
• Deciduous plants shed all leaves at
approximately the same time annually.
• Evergreen plants retain some leaves longer
than one growing season so that leaves are
present throughout the year.
• Semi-evergreen refers to plants that may
retain their leaves, depending on the winter
temperature and moisture.
• Broadleaf plants have a broad leaf blade
(e.g. ash, maple, lilac and beans).
• Narrowleaf plants have needle-like (e.g.
pine, spruce) or awl-like (e.g. junipers)
leaves.
• Grass-like plants have narrow leaves,
usually arising from the base of the
plant. The leaves may be soft (ornamental
grasses) or stiff (yucca).

8. ‘Growth habit’ refers to the genetic tendency of a
plant to grow in a certain shape and to attain a
certain mature height and spread.
• Trees:- typically have a single trunk and mature
height over 12 feet.
• Shrubs:- typically have multiple-branches from
the ground and a mature height less than 12 feet.
• Vines:- have a climbing, clasping, or self-clinging
growth habit.

9. Many landscape plants could be considered small trees or large
shrubs. The terms "tree" or "shrub" would be applied based on the
general appearance of the plant.
Plants have vastly different growth habits. It is important to understand
growth habits in order to make knowledgeable decisions regarding plant
placement, plant selection, pruning and maintenance requirements.
The species, cultivar, and/or variety name sometimes indicates some
characteristic of growth habit.
