The tree fossil is believed to be over twenty million years old and has been obtained by the Lal Bagh Botanical Garden from the National Fossil Park, in Tamil Nadu. This particular fossil is believed to be that of a coniferous tree, that is believed to have been fossilised by flooding that occurred several millions of years ago. Apart from the fact that one can Marvel that a living object has survived so long, one gets a perspective on nature, life and its philosophy. The fossil has been well-maintained in a floral setting, which changes according to the seasons.

The tree fossil in Lalbagh Botanical Garden, Bangalore, is a 20-million-year-old petrified tree trunk. It is a petrified coniferous tree, meaning its organic material has been replaced by minerals over time, preserving its structure as stone. This fossil is a piece from the National Fossil Park in Tiruvakkral, Tamil Nadu. The park also exhibits fossils at locations like Gundy Park, Madras, and the National Museum in Delhi.

Inside Lalbagh! Not so well maintained. The fountain is always dry and shabby. You can walk or can take the electric vehicle in the garden. Food service is limited inside the garden so plan accordingly. Best time to visit is from 3 pm to 6pm. Every republic day and Independent day will be a fest along with flowershow and multiple events in the garden. Entry fee is to be paid.
