Here banyan, peepal, and kadamba are culturally important and life-useful mangoes, tamarind, ber, Ganga tamarind, Jamun. Also, Ganga ber, mulberry, tendu, chironji, pomegranate, kaitha, neem, sycamore, palas. And guava, sitaphal, bael, and amla. Saplings will be planted. To give a unique identity to Krishna Kunj and to show uniformity in all bodies, the design of the logo on the boundary wall gate has been made uniform.
Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel said it has been named Krishna Kunj to connect plantations with people, preserve their cultural heritage, and give them a unique identity. Due to the indiscriminate felling of trees due to urbanization in the past years, the existence of these trees is ending. The initiative of Krishna Kunj is being taken to connect the coming generations with the importance of these trees.
