Great Shelford Tree

Unclaimed

WOW. This is an amazing tree, it’s leaves are the greenest, biggest and healthiest I’ve ever seen. The trunk is so sturdy I can lean my ENTIRE BODY WEIGHT on it without it breaking! The leaves are so WIDE and DENSE they provide shelter in the rain and cover from the sun if you need to rest or get cover from the rain! This is the best tree in all of Singapore, no doubt.

Took a walk along shelford road and came across this standalone tree. I must say it’s the prettiest tree I’ve seen so far, totally mesmerised by its beauty. Would recommend you to drop by and see for yourself one day!

There were many whispers within my social circles of The Great Shelford Tree. Rumour has it that if you stood under this majestic tree from the Alexicus Shelfordae species, you’d be able to smell traces of Nasi Lemak and Truffle for some strange reason. I decided to pay a visit to this tree and lo and behold, the fragrance of Nasi lemak wafted into my nostrils and I fell onto my knees in reverence and started praying. I received 16 business deal that very same week. 100/10 would recommend if you need extra luck to kena TOTO. Boost your chances of getting your wish if you start chanting the lyrics to Kit Chan’s Home as you kneel in front of the tree.

Curiosity kills the cat, satisfaction brought him back! Chanced upon this on the web and had to give it a check. Great Shelford tree is lush and green indeed, when will it be decked up for the festivity?
