A TREE NAMED IPOH

The tree featured in this post is the Ipoh Tree (Antiaris toxicaria).  Now it may not mean much to many but to those who are from Ipoh, this is where my hometown got its name.
In days gone by, Ipoh trees were found everywhere, in abundance. Unfortunately, there are only two Ipoh trees left in this city.  One is standing in front of the Ipoh Train Station, and the other can be found in Taman D.R. Seenivasagam.  Anyone from Ipoh who knows of any other place where this tree can be found?
