The Trees of the Fort guided tour takes you to beautiful trees at Fort Canning Park amidst a backdrop of lush greenery and rich history. Fort Canning Hill, on which the park sits, once housed a Malay Kingdom in the 14th century. It was also the place of residence for several governors and was even transformed into a fort in the 1860s.
The trees on this tour are selected for their interesting features that set them apart from other trees in the park. The Kapok, for instance, stands out due to its sheer size and thorny bark. The Malayan Banyan is a majestic sight with its aerial roots hanging down. One of the Madras Thorns you get to see here is Singapore’s largest to date. If you wonder how a tree looks like upside-down, the Baobab is the tree to visit.
