Plant names

Hi what r the name of some common plant names in urdu.cuz ppl here dont kown what im talking about when i say elm maple ash etc, and im having difficulty when buyingplant 4 bonsia

welcome khan 92.
yes you have mentioned a good point.
as its not big deal but it is.so refer to English URDU dictionary,i think problem will be solved.and remember try to use local species for bonsai as they are familiar to our climate.its my suggestion but your choice is your.

dictionary will also work but we should find a web site where we can also see plants pics and names in both Urdu or English.lets try to find

I have tried that but either the dictionary doesnt have the ans.or it just has an explanation of the .an other prob is that most of the nursery owners only understand punjabi

yes its true. rashid has given good advice to find a web site where we can find the names of all these trees in Urdu.

i also have faced same problem but you will be familiar gradually.
i know i asked a nursery owner for jade he could not get it,luckily i caught eye on jade,when i said here is it he replied me its not jade its "Karachi Booti"
good luck

dont need for the names of trees,
just go to nursery and buy what you like to make a bonsai.. simple

ibrar,you need to know the names of tree,then you will be able to know their soil water and light needs.

please try to collect tree names in english and urdu and post as a topic
@ pak bonsai please do some effort.

Khan,

Do the nurseries or vendors in your country use the proper binomial (bi-nomial literally means, two-names) plant names? For instance Japanese Maples are known around the world as Acer palmatum.

By using the proper names we eliminate possible confusion in this regard.

By the way, since this is my first post here, and I see no forum for proper introductions, I would like to say hello from the United States and congratulations on starting your own forum, well done.
