What tree is that in your $5 note???


Tembusu Tree
The Tembusu Tree is also known as the $5 tree. The Tembusu tree in the $5 note was painted by a famous artist, Mr Eng in Botanic Gardens.
The $5 tree has buttress roots. The $5 tree's wood is anti-bacteria so it can be used to make chopping board. I was told that it was very lasting.
