Which Singapore tree are you?

Just like the Angsana tree's otherworldly yet iconic drooping foliage, you are an unconventional beauty. When flowering, the Angsana flower gives off a faint scent reminiscent of orange blossoms which lasts for a day before falling and forming a beautiful yellow carpet on the ground.

You are accustomed to the finer things in life - like fine furniture made from Angsana wood. Not only that, the tree's bark can be used as treatment for dysentery and diarrhoea.

You have a sunny temperament, just like the photo-sensitive Rain Tree, whose leaves close up during sunset or cloudy weather. Friendly and welcoming, you attract and care for friends just like how the rain tree provides shade with its huge umbrella-shaped crown, as well as sustenance with it's fleshy fruit pulp.

You are a superstar who is accustomed to the spotlight. Just like the iconic Tembusu that graces our $5 note, you stand out among peers. Never shunning a riotous night out, you flourish like the Tembusu flower which gives off its recognisable scent only in the night. In the past, the annual fruiting of the Tembusu tree used to attract flying foxes who gorge on the fruits throughout the night.

You are organised with maybe a tad of OCD, with a touch of hypochondriasis - like how the Sea Almond Tree grows its branches in tiers, giving it a pagoda-like silhouette. Preferring a variety of colours, the Sea Almond (or Ketapang) has leaves which turn to yellow, orange and red before falling off.

Not only are they colourful - they are also antibacterial in nature, often used by aquariums to protect the health of fishes.

You might never become a heritage tree, but you are special in your own way - special enough to become the logo of Singapore's most iconic hotel.

Commonly found on our roads, the Traveller's Palm is easy to grow and requires little help - just like the low-maintenance you. No one can accuse you of being a diva.

Typically associated with love, the Saga Tree even has a Tang poem written about it. Perfect for the romantic at heart. It is said that when you collect the seeds of the Saga Tree, you are also collecting the thoughts of the one you love.

Your favourite colour is the colour of passion - red. It is also the colour of the Saga seeds, which are fascinatingly uniform in weight - 4 seeds make up 1 gram.

Named after the shape of it's flowers, the Trumpet Tree loves to show off with its impressive flowering - so much so that it has been called the Sakura of Singapore. It usually flowers after a dry spell and when the flowers fall off, the base of the tree becomes a sweet-smelling carpet.

You have an edge to you - just like the poisonous Pong Pong Tree. You might have a few friends, but no one can come close for fear of being on the receiving end of your mood swings.

But that is not to say you are without beauty - those who manage to slip past your frosty exterior might spot goodness, like the dainty white flowers which adorn the tree.
