In the future if we plan roads as well as the distance between the side walk and a building better we may be able to have space of planting in residential roads as well as main roads. However, from my travels within Somaliland some roads have been built too close to the road. Still the dual carriage ways and highways will have plenty of space to plant these species. There are over 400 species in Africa alone.

The reason I recommended Sudan is due to the distance as well as the traditional palm trees that are notably the kind we eat in Muslim countries and are amongst the best. However, each species will have its use and purpose.

Certainly without the government approving planning, a business man may find it difficult to plant in some areas.


Illegal homes built in the middle of the road or too close to the sideways can be demolished to make spacing for future paved roads and plantations. You are right the Sudanese Date Palm type are among the best and also good quality. :up: Those that grow in the river banks of the Nile might require a different weather though in comparison to Somaliland's climate.

Date Palms are a bad choice, as they are extremely slow growers and provide little to no shade.

These trees are better for urban areas (already grown in Somaliland and are drought tolerant):
