Tips for parents

  • Pick a tree you actually know from your own town or village, since the name will feel warmer if it recalls a real view.
  • Ashok carries a second meaning, without sorrow, which many parents like as much as the tree itself.
  • Choose between Pallav, Pallab and Pallawi early, because the three sound alike and are easy to mix up on paper.
  • Short tree names like Bel and Babul are simple to spell, while Chandan and Samshad give a longer, softer sound.
