ChrisB87 Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 (edited) Hi guys and gals, I am looking to buy some Intanin (อินทนิล) trees in Ubon Ratchathani. Scientific name is Lagerstroemia speciosa. I understand these trees are literally everywhere and i could try to pick the seed pods and start growing them that way (and i may have to do that), but i was wondering if anyone knows of a place that sells them? We have checked all the garden shops and none of them have 'em! (nobody seems to know where to buy them...apparently they are "wild trees") I know i have specified Ubon, but if anyone knows where they are sold in Bangkok, i would appreciate those suggestions too (i can easily buy a few of them in BKK and take them up with me) Here's a few pics. Thanks for any advice! Much appreciated! Edited May 31, 2014 by ChrisB87 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 I don't know whether they will have the specific item you are looking for, but you could try asking (preferably aided by a Thai friend/partner) at all the gardening places on the road behind the airport*. About 10 'garden centres' (Thai style and some sell trees as well), lining both sides of the road. Someone may at least know where you can go. * Take the Ubon-Trakarn Road, Highway 2050 which goes north off the eastern end of Uppalisan Road. After about 3 km the U-T Road goes past the north-eastern end of the airport runway. Keep going about another half to one km and "gardeners alley" starts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
