There are 12 super trees at the grove. It heights from 25 m to 50 m each.

1 Super Tree that held the bistro does not link with the remaining 11 trees that connected the skyway.
The super trees are embedded with the environmental sustainable functions like photo voltaic cells to harvest solar energy.

*Photovoltaic is a method to generate solar power
