Fragrant lilac blooms and a shady crown: a highly effective ornamental choice for mild climates.
The chinaberry is a proven solution for avenues in hot climates: fast-growing, it tolerates drought, salt spray and poor soils, and in May its lilac blossom perfumes entire neighbourhoods. Its golden berries persist on the bare tree all winter.
Its naturally pierced seeds were used to make rosaries: hence the names "rosary tree" and "paternoster tree" by which it is known across the Mediterranean.
