Mysore/Mysuru: Mysuru City Corporation (MCC) Commissioner Gurudutta Hegde has recommended planting of strong trunk trees like gulmarg or gul mohur, spathodea, pichkiya, copper-pod, subabul, Singapore cherry, muntingia, neem, syzygium cumini, aegle marmelos, phyllanthus emblica, syzygium jambos, tamarind and saraca asoca trees in the city.
