Which plants to grow?

ARE YOU KIDDING YOU ASK THIS WITH OUT ANY REFERENCE AS TO LOCATION OR CLIMATE

What country do you live in ,

I grow

Banana .Papaya,Mango ,Guañabana.

Coconut palms are not a good idea although they give a high shade( because falling coconuts can kill people)

around the office and next to the wall i like the giant red ginger

they are tall and prolific and hide the wall

Vines with red leaves absorb the most heat

have these on trellises around the building.

But each place is different you have to be specific.

"Common indoor plants may provide a valuable weapon in the fight against rising levels of indoor air pollution. Those plants in your office or home are not only decorative, but NASA scientists are finding them to be surprisingly useful in absorbing potentially harmful gases and cleaning the air inside modern buildings."

"NASA research has consistently shown that living, green and flowering plants can remove several toxic chemicals from the air in building interiors. You can use plants in your home or office to improve the quality of the air to make it a more pleasant place to live and work - where people feel better, perform better, any enjoy life more."

u will have to plant not one but a few of them

1st would plants that would grow fast even though they may not give more shade.

2nd would be plants that are good for health like NEEM, Basil which is very good for health and keeps mosquitoes away.

3. These are plants that are having big leaf and are generally slow growing.

Now for cooling requirement, u should extend the area beyound ur boundry to grow plants, so the earth receives less heat and ur purpose is served.

PLANT IN UR NEIGHBOUR TERRITORY ALSO WITH THEIR CONSENT IT WILL HELP U AND THEM

AFTER U HAVE DONE U CAN REQUEST UR NEIGHBOUR TO EXTEND TO THEIR NEIGHBOUR IN ALL THE 4 DIRECTIONS

iN A SHORT TIME THE FULL AREA WILL BE COOL AND ALSO GOOD FOR THE GLOBAL WARMING.

Pine Trees

yellow bamboo if the space is wide enough.or shrubs like croton etc.bamboos are excellent air cleaner and reduce sound pollution more effective than the trees.

Pinus,Ginkgo &Neem

try a bushy hedge with thick leaves.
