Excerpt: I’ve subverted my own list! I’m responsible for introducing something like 40 or so trees into Delhi that weren’t in my book. This has mostly to do with my stint with the Aga Khan Foundation when I was working at Sundar Nursery in 2009. My brief was to create an arboretum of trees and plants. I picked an assemblage of plants that were from neighbouring biomes — eastern Rajasthan, western Madhya Pradesh, and so on. A large number of them were native Delhi plants that had disappeared as the city grew. So to answer your question, yes, there’s a whole lot more trees that now live and prosper in Delhi since my book was written.
