9/x But really noone should cut Iroko at all! It is an #oxalogenic species which fixes carbon into the soil (and fertilises), one of the best trees to plant right now for #CarbonCapture. I learned this from an #Eastbourne fellow #ClimateActivist (activist in the loosest sense - people who do things about #ClimateChange) and you can read more here. I am not an expert on this myself, but the Iroko really is one of our #SuperTrees

Scientists are trying to engineer super-trees that capture more carbon dioxide and survive harsher conditions. They are using techniques such as gene editing, synthetic biology, and selective breeding to create new varieties of trees that can grow faster, store more carbon, and resist pests and diseases. These super-trees could help mitigate the effects of climate change, but they also raise ethical and ecological questions.

Christmas is around the corner.
Here in Sunny Singapore,
We have our own Christmas Wonderland near the Supertrees.

At the heart of Gardens by the Bay are the 18 Supertrees with intelligent environmental infrastructure designed by Grant Associates.

Not only glamorous but also eco-friendly to our nation,
