About the show:

There are some seven million trees in Singapore and amongst them are a very special few that hold the answers to mysteries unlike any other. With a unique and unprecedented approach into our history, Secret Lives of Trees uncovers these secrets for the very first time.

Why did hundreds of thousands of Angsana trees across the island mysteriously disappear in the 1980s? And how did an uninhabited mangrove island transform into a lush Casuarina forest on Coney Island?

Told from the ground up through a cast of compelling characters, we’ll dive into the backstories of these trees, uncovering clues from our history, cultures, communities and wildlife.
