One of the many trees DBKL plans to grow in the city is the ‘tabebuia pentaphylla’.
KUALA Lumpur residents will soon be seeing more flowering plants and trees of varying sizes and colours in the city centre.
Some of the plants selected are from the amherstia nobilis species, also known as the Pride of Burma.
The tree is renowned for its bright red flowers.
Another choice species is the brownea grandiceps or rose of Venezuela, which produces red and purple flowers.
Also on the list is tabebuia pentaphylla, a fast-growing semi-deciduous tree for cooler areas with glossy green leaves and clusters of pink flowers.
