Melia azedarach

Description

A fast-growing, many-branched deciduous tree, up to 15m tall in its native warm temperate India and China, but much shorter in height in the UK where it will be generally pot-grown. The pinnate leaves are composed of numerous glossy, ovate leaflets. In spring and early summer it produces a profusion of fragrant, pale lilac, star-shaped flowers in loose, arching clusters; these are followed by ovoid, yellow fruit to 1cm long. It is, however, unlikey to flower or fruit when grown as a conservatory specimen
