More than 2,000 trees and palms, plus 100,000 shrubs

It took almost three years getting more than 2,000 trees and palms, and over 100,000 shrubs, into Jewel Changi Airport.

Mr Jeremy Yeo, head of user experience at Jewel Changi Airport, said:"When we were choosing the plants... we had to consider different criteria, including aesthetics and their ability to thrive within the complex given its light levels, temperature and humidity conditions. Once they arrived in Singapore, the plants were nursed back to health at an off-site nursery and acclimatised to Singapore's tropi-cal weather.
