The Albizia tree, originally from the Maluku Islands in Indonesia, has quietly spread through Singapore’s landscape, embodying both utility and resilience. Far from an accidental presence, the fast-growing tree, valued for its ability to thrive in disturbed soils, was introduced intentionally. This book documents five Albizia specimens – four in Singapore and one in the Maluku Islands – in the process examining how human actions have shaped these spaces, exploring the blurred lines between native and non-native, natural and artificial, and showing how these trees, despite often being considered undesirable, perform a subtle but powerful role in rewilding disturbed spaces.
