Melia azedarach seed Chinaberry Persian Lilac Tree Seeds

LATIN NAME: Melia azedarach

COMMON NAME: Chinaberry

The chinaberry nets the small, lilac flowers in the broad, open clusters, the fine, divided leaves below them, and the whole tree carries the soft, lilac-tinted look of the warm roadside. The fast-growing, deciduous tree carries the large, twice-pinnate, compound leaves, and the small, lilac, five-petalled, fragrant flowers in the large, open, branched panicles through the late spring, one of the soft, bright sights of the warm roadside, drawing the bees, to be followed by the round, smooth, pale-yellow berries that hang on into the winter. The round berries have a very long record as the fine, shade trees of the warm lands, and the tree is a historic presence of the warm roadside. It is a tree of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained ground.

Scientific Research & Plant Biotechnology

The chinaberry is a historic subject of the plant science, and the lilac flowers keep showing up in the work on the fast-growing trees. The way the small, lilac, five-petalled, fragrant flowers form in the large, open, branched panicles has been studied at length, and it keeps appearing in the studies of the fast-growing trees, the divided leaves and the members of the mahogany family. The round berries and the quick habit have also made it a fine study tree, and the chinaberry is a regular subject of the work on the lilac flowers of the warm world.

Ecological & Economic Value & Wide Applications

The chinaberry is a soft, useful tree of the warm roadside and the study collection. The large, twice-pinnate, compound leaves carry the soft look of the warm roadside, one of the soft, bright sights of the warm roadside, drawing the bees, and the round berries have a very long record as the fine, shade trees of the warm lands, the pale, straight-grained timber coming to the light joinery and the steady craft of the old lands, while the small, lilac, five-petalled, fragrant flowers in the large, open, branched panicles open through the late spring, to be followed by the round, smooth, pale-yellow berries that hang on into the winter. It is one of the fine choices for the warm roadside, the quick shade and the study collection, and it has been written up in the horticultural and the botanical papers for the round berries and the very long history. Where the spread is not welcome it is best kept to the places where the spread is welcome, so check the local advice before planting. It is a soft, useful tree of the open, sunny, deep, rich, moist, well-drained garden.

The chinaberry seeds grow readily in a gritty, sandy mix kept warm and moist. The young trees are quick and free, and they take the deep, rich ground of the open garden well.

To grow the chinaberry from seed, sow the small, round seeds over the surface of the seed tray of gritty, sandy compost, water gently, then keep the tray in a bright, warm spot. The seedlings push through within a few weeks, and they grow on fast. With the sun and the deep, rich, moist ground, the lilac nets will open over the years.

Family: Meliaceae (mahogany Family)
Chinaberry is a fast-growing tree with a rounded crown that reaches about 50 ft (15.2 m) tall with a 20 ft (6.1 m) spread. The bark is reddish brown, becoming fissured on mature trees. The deciduous leaves are bipinnate (twice feather-like) and 1-2 ft (0.3-0.6 m) long. The individual leaflets, each about 2 in (5.1 cm) long and less than half as wide, are pointed at the tips and have toothed edges. In spring and early summer, Chinaberry produces masses of purplish, fragrant, star shaped flowers, each about 3 / 4 in (1.9 cm) in diameter, that arch or droop in 8 in (2.4 cm) panicles. They are followed by clusters of spherical, yellow fruits about 3 / 4 in (1.9 cm) in diameter that persist on the trees even after the leaves have fallen.
