Changi Tree

The Changi Tree, also known as The Time Tree, was a tree in Singapore that was noted for its height of 76 m (249 ft). The species of the tree is unclear, but it was either Hopea sangal or Sindora wallichii. It has been said that Changi was named after this tree. It has been recorded that Changi was named after Neobalanocarpus heimii by the legendary botanist H.N. Ridley. However, there has been no evidence that the tree had ever been in Changi.
