People can learn more about the trees from a book entitled Tree Walk at Kowloon Park published in collaboration with the Institute of Horticulture and CLP Power.
The book provides detailed information on the forms, flowering seasons, characteristics and growing habits of these trees, serving as an excellent guide to tree-lovers.
