Many trees in the Union Territory of Chandigarh are given a privileged part of the natural heritage of the city which serves as an important green landmark, so the Chandigarh government came up with a list of 31 trees which are called Heritage Trees of Chandigarh.[1] One can contact the Department of Forest & Wildlife administration or Chandigarh Tree Lovers to get a copy of the booklet which they made and published with all the details.

Those trees which are 100 years old were identified and put in a list of "heritage status". Out of 31, the Chandigarh government identified that 15 of them are peepal, 11 are banyan, 4 are mango trees, and only one is an earpod tree.[2] The oldest tree which was found standing from the last 350 years is one of the peepal trees in Khudda Ali Sher village.
