The Instagram Tree, also known to many Singaporeans as the Punggol Lonely Tree has recently been removed by the Housing Development Board on the 16th of December 2015. Located at the Punggol Waterway, the Instagram Tree has served as a backdrop for many wedding photoshoots. Sad to see it go, this tree has been part of the beautiful memory of many Singaporeans.
I feel that many of us have an affinity with trees. Growing up in a Garden City, our trees provide shade to us and makes Singapore a prettier place altogether. Life goes on. We have come up with 6 other iconic trees in Singapore to help you find the next best backdrop for your photoshoot.
