Angsana (Pterocarpus indicus) The Angsana is a large Tree native to Southeast-Asia. It has a compact drooping crown with a greyish—brown trunk that is usually fluted. It Can grow up to 40m tall. When in bloom, it produces yellow flowers, with a heady fragrance that lasts one to two days before carpeting the ground; with fallen petals. The fruits are circular flattened pods with papery wings. The Angsana was widely used as a roadside shade tree in the past, including here at Upper Serangoon Road where this old tree stands. This is one of the remaining giant Angsana trees that originally lined this road.
