10 Seeds Persian Lilac {Melia Azedarach} Sacred Tree Fast Grow

A fast-growing tree, with a rounded crown that reaches about 50 ft tall
with a 20 ft spread. In spring and early summer, Chinaberry produces
masses of lavender, very fragrant, star shaped flowers, each about 3/4"
in diameter, that arch or droop in 8" panicles. They are followed by
clusters of spherical, yellow fruits that are about 3/4". Chinaberry is
planted widely in warm climates as an ornamental and shade tree. Grows
well in partial shade to full sun and can tolerate drought. Grows in
USDA zones 7-10 and can handle light frost. All parts of Chinaberry
tree are poisonous so just be careful.

Seed - it has a short viability and is best sown as soon as it is ripe.
The seedcoat is hard and acts as a barrier to the uptake of moisture
carefully making a nick in this seedcoat, being careful not to damage
the seed, can speed up the germination process. The seed usually germinates
well, 85% germination may be expected in 2 months. When they are large
enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow
them on until large enough to plant out. Root cuttings.


The shiny, hard seeds are used as beads and for rosaries. Extracts from
the bark and fruit have pharmacological properties and are used in China
to kill parasitic roundworms.
