Trees vs Bushes

I wonder why the folks in charge of the decorative plants at the sides of the roads choose to plant and re-plant small, bushy plants rather than big tall angsana trees. Higher maintenance? They sure would be a nice addition to our local scenery, providing shade and helping negate some of the global warming effect.

And what's with the non-native palm trees everywhere, anyway?

Yeah, i've been asking the same question too, i guess the people in charge have never visited S'pore where i find the stretch of road leading to Changi to be absolutely relaxing, of course the huge trees are helped with the well manicured buganvilias!!!
