104 years old Jelutong Tree besides the KL Tower.
This rare Jelutong Tree (Dyera Costulata) is 95 years old. To conserve it the position of the Tower was shifted to avoid the tree, and a series of the soldier piles was installed as a retaining wall during the foundation excavation period to prevent the tree from topping.
The conservation of the tree by perceptive planning and construction methods, incurring a total cost of RM430,000.00 permits this natural rarity to be enjoyed by yhe future generations. - Dated 1996
