What are the most famous trees and plants to see inside Peradeniya Gardens?

The gardens are globally known for hosting this astonishing mix of uncommon, huge, and historically meaningful plants, all together in one place.

• The Giant Javan Fig Tree: A massive, sprawling, umbrella-like organism, and its detailed root arrangement ends up covering more than 2,500 square metres of lawn.
• The Cannonball Tree: Planted by King George V in 1901. It is famous for that odd, heavy, round fruit, and also for intensely fragrant blossoms.
• The Double Coconut Palm: Another wonder, it was sourced from the Seychelles, and it produces the largest and heaviest seed in the entire plant world.
• The Royal Palm Avenue: A truly breathtaking, symmetrical walkway lined with towering palms that were planted back in the 1950s.
