THE iconic Ipoh tree at the Ipoh Railway Station Square, which toppled during a thunderstorm last April, has been replanted.

The new tree, which was nurtured in a nursery in Buntong is three years old and about 2m high now, was planted by Perak Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir during a ceremony on Wednesday.
