VIJAY's MUSINGS OBITUARIES Tipu's Mango Tree We have also lost (in early March) the Patriach of trees at Lalbagh - the 225 yr. old Mango tree planted by Tipu Sultan himself. With this, the continuity of living things with the founders of the Rose & Cypress Garden, Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, has now been irrevocably terminated. This tree was leafless and dying for sometime. While not being able to confirm this, I believe two of the nearby Mango trees would have been planted at the same time as Tipu Sultan's tree.
