Many trees in the UT (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 as Heritage Trees which are "referred to as Heritage Trees of Chandigarh[1]. One can contact the Department of forest & wildlife Chandigarh administration or CTL (Chandigarh Tree Lovers) to get a copy of the booklet which they made & 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 & only one is Earpod tree.[2] The oldest tree which was found standing from the last 350 years is one of the peepal tree which is standing in Khudda Ali Sher village.
