Question

Read the following paragraph and complete the table by putting in the correct information. Suggest a suitable title.

While preparing to plant trees in a residential colony, highways or anywhere, one should consider three factors for taking a decision. What kind of (species) trees, where to plant and what kind of soil. One should consider the qualities of a tree such as a pattern of branching and its height.
If it is a school, you need shade-giving trees of moderate height so that children can play under them and not be hurt when they climb on them.
In residential colonies, trees with thick branches, like Eucalyptus or Ashoka should be chosen to control pollution and trap dust. Similarly, the nature of the soil too should be considered.
If you are planting trees by the road side, it withstands the topical monsoon and provides shade in summer.
On highways, the well-known choice would be the native trees like Tamarind or Peepal. They do not need much care. Birds and animals interact more easily with native trees than the exotic ones. Villagers too consider such native trees to be sacred as the abode of gods.
