Introduction

Supertrees are large tree-like structures that are found in various locations around the world. They are vertical gardens that house over 162,900 plants of over 200 species. The Supertrees are also designed to be sustainable, with harvesting solar energy.

Structure
Each Supertree is made up of a steel frame that is covered in a mesh of ETFE panels. ETFE is a lightweight, translucent material that allows sunlight to pass through while also providing protection from the elements. The Supertrees are supported by a network of cables that are anchored in the ground.

Plants
The Supertrees are home to a variety of plants, including orchids, ferns, vines, and bromeliads. The plants are chosen for their ability to thrive in a vertical environment and their tolerance to the local climate.

Solar Panels
The solar panels are located on the roofs of the Supertrees and are angled to maximize sunlight exposure.

Purpose
The Supertrees serve a variety of purposes. They provide shade and shelter from the sun, promote biodiversity, harvest solar energy, collect rainwater for irrigation, act as a cooling tower, provide a platform for events and performances, and enhance the overall aesthetic of the location where they are found.
