Here today gone tomorrow
A massive, beautiful, old Jacaranda standing tall in the garden of a bungalow style house in Gulshan Dhaka - was chopped-down without any mercy, to make way for an apartment block.
Jacaranda mimosifolia is already a vulnerable tree species here - along with the Gulmohor [Flame Of The Forest / Royal Poinciana] - most trees being being cut down indiscriminately like the large Gulmohor in the middle of the old «Gulshan Circle-II» roundabout, also chopped down during the «beautify Dhaka» [LOL! ] drive before the last SAARC Summit.
What a shame!
