Pakistan Gardening Forum

Hey there fellas, am delighted to see so many passionate gardeners

Well, just joined the forum and thought of seeking your advice as to what are the best fruit tree options for home lawn in ISLAMABAD

I was wondering about Plum and Cherry and some shady trees on corners (not sure, which ones)

Also, would love to use some fancy vines for the boundary walls.

Please share your thoughts, experiences, recommendations.

Cheers
Bilal

Recommended trees; BUDHA, CASSIA NADOSA
Tabubia


Climbers/vines, Wisteria (flowers 2nd year)



Rangoon creeper double



Golden shower



Sinacio

Beaumantia Grandiflora,Rangoon climber,Bougainvillea,trumpet vein are best veins to grow in Islamabad.among flowering trees ,Lagerstonia,Jacoranda,silver oak,cassia nadosa,cassia fistula,Indian coral tree are very easy to grow in Islamabad.try mango sensation its unique that its dwarf variety plus ripes in OCT.its fruits are very decorative red.pears are good in Islamabad climate.among palm tree Alexander & Queen are best in sense they are very hardy & do not even need protection against frost.Don,t ever try the most beautiful Fox tail palm at Islamabad.it can not survive our winters.

You can try plum but not cherry in Islamabad.

Much thanks MrHamad, Mr Arif and Mr Umar for your valuable suggestions and such nice pictures. Sinacio looks the best.

I am quite a beginner so will search for the pictures of these suggested vines.
By the way do grapes grow in islamabad?

Also, what are your suggestions for shady fruit trees. I like rich green and big trees.

Yes Bilal grapes grow very nice in Islamabad.if you want big shady trees plant Langda mango tree,Chunsa mango tree,lychee tree or white shahtoot.(i dont recommend you the black shahtoot).black shahtoot is also very sweet but its stains can not be cleaned from clothes.another thing if you want some thing different you can try Avacando fruit tree.
