Contexte culturel
Planting trees is a common way to celebrate birthdays or milestones to gain 'kutho' (merit). The 'Bodhi' tree is specifically planted and watered during the month of Kason (May) in a ceremony called 'Nyaung-yay-thun-pwe'. In Yangon, 'balcony gardening' is a rising trend among youth to combat urban heat and stress. Farmers often plant 'shade trees' (A-ye-bin) along the edges of their fields for workers to rest under.
