The Five-Dollar Tree

Do you find this tree familiar? If you do, can you remember why? You would have seen this picture every now and then. Think! Have seen Mummy or Daddy paying for things with a five-dollar Singapore note.? The picture of this tree appears on the reverse of the note. That is why this tree is sometimes known as the five-dollar tree. Now, guess where this tree is found. I took this picture when I accompanied the Primary Two pupils on their Learning Journey to the Botanical Gardens last year. This Tembusu tree has been identified as a heritage tree.
