I think he mean Trema orientalis for Indian nettle tree. … may try his luck in nurseries around Lalbagh (Siddapura area). They sell varieties of seedlings of plants and tree species. Also check inside the Lal bagh (Government nursery) located near the rock. Furthermore, there are many forest nurseries nearby Bangalore. Check with the Forest deparment officers also. They are helpful. Thanks for your advise. Good to find that you are interested in planting native trees which attract birds. One way of going about it is to plant pioneer trees of moist deciduous forests and then to plant umbrella species which are fig trees of those areas. Could ask Ncf at Valparai or Frlht at Bangalore for advice and saplings.
