Gardening is a good hobby,which includes only numerous small plants variety again which may include all the flowering plants,the fruit bearing plants etc up to a certain order,height of maximum of about 15 feet or lower.When the plant is larger or taller then 20 feet or more.....it cannot be termed as GARDENING This Plant which will become a Tree in a few years will certainly going to rob the sun-shin and its shadow will be falling on the house and the corner area will become gloomy and darker while all of us will be surprised to know that the land scape is a marshy one!!! The family who did the SO-CALLED-GARDENING are well-educated one,both the sons are at abroad,The master of the house is himself a retired Govt. employee This residential area is already having a hugh Tree at the center*** Every one of us will definitely get annoyed when we come to know the fact that the Plant was been PLANTED on a Municipal(Pnachayat)Land. Since this plant is been planted some two months ago,The objection was been conveyed to the Master of that particular residence whose family members did the unlawful act,but they haven't yet shown any positive response even after 10-12 days have already passed off,hence should this Plant be uprooted at once???? Give me your response in hugh numbers so that I get the motivation to give you the link of Google Map.......

I was reading this with mixed feelings because one person's wonderful plant is another person's noxious weed, but nobody has the right to plant personal plants in a public area, so that got my attention. But when you hinted that you might publish a link so that we can have a look at the offending plant, then I got very happy and decided that would be well worth seeing. So I hope you get many MANY responses here so that you will follow through and we can see this tree. But if it is on municipal land, then one should think the municipality should be informed rather than the perpetrator of the "crime."

Not at all boring. I could not bring anything up from the link, though, as it kept crashing my browser. I will try again later as I should like to see this tree. Well, obviously there are some social and legal differences. A coworker used to tell me about some of the things we can do here in the US that do not work at all in his country. After he had been here a while and then he went back to visit, he said it was much harder to deal with than before he got used to our ways here. Good luck!
