To create an eco-friendly image, Hanoi's plan to beautify its major streets with flamboyant trees was met with mixed reactions from environmentalists and biologists.
Deputy Director of Hanoi Green Tree Park company Nguyen Xuan Hung stressed that the municipal Party Committee and People's Committee, especially Chairman Nguyen Duc Chung, have directed closely his company in planting, tending and pruning tree branches in the recent time.
He noted that his company was assigned to perform some major tasks for the period 2016-2020, including: Planting a million trees; Regularly pruning tree branches to ensure qualified urban green landscape system and building 25 parks, of which at least 5 parks meeting the international standard.
The planting of flamboyant trees in Hanoi is part of a bigger plan to beautify the city by growing one million new trees by 2020, which Chairman of Hanoi’s People’s Committee Nguyen Duc Chung revealed late in May.
Deputy Director of Hanoi Green Tree Park company Nguyen Xuan Hung said up to 300 flamboyant trees have been planted on the median strips of major streets such as Tran Khat Chan, Xa Dan, Kim Lien-Hoang Cau, Lang Ha and Tay Son.
He said the company is equipped with the most advanced machinery to prune tree branches in order to avoid obstructing commuters’ vision, and to prevent trees from breaking during storms, while also maintaining their beautiful appearance at the same time.
Hung added the company will plant more trees as part of its goal to fill all vacant spaces in town that are suitable for tree growth.
Hanoi Green Tree Park company had carefully considered all facts before implementing the plan, he stressed.
Doctor Nguyen Lan Hung, General Secretary of the Vietnam Society for Biology, also supported the city’s plan, citing several points in favour of the tree.
The flamboyant tree is resilient to windy and stormy weather, and offers a beautiful display of flowers in summer and green leaves in winter, according to Doctor Nguyen Lan Hung.
The flamboyant tree is familiar to many Vietnamese, and is often called “the flower of school age” because it starts to bloom when the academic year ends.
The flamboyant tree is also planted in large numbers in cities like Hai Phong and Da Nang.
