Buddhist Pine
Basically, the layout of Sir Robert Ho Tung Library remains the same after the expansion project, it only added a pool and a fountain in the backyard garden. The garden still serves as the main feature with all original plants, and stone building materials conserved, comprising a variety of elements: a total of seven trees in six types listed on the Register of Old and Valuable Trees under Protection, such as java apple, white frangipani, murraya exotica, Buddhist pine, celtis occidentalis and longan; other plants such as guava, loquat, palm tree, camellia, mulberry tree and broad-leaved lady palm; stone building materials such as grey bricks and granite; a pond with a fire protection function and an artificial fountain; and the old well in the atrium garden (part of the original backyard garden).
