Jacaranda, Maple tree, and Bauhinia do extremely well in Islamabad.

I recall Auricaria (but of course no flowers as you require), Har singhaar, Conocarpus, and blossoming apple trees do very well too. The pink and purple crape myrtle will look beautiful. The majestic Magnolia grandiflora is worthwhile but as you know it has dead slow growth.Izhar wrote:Thank you Farooq, they are beautiful.. need a few more suggestions..
