Wholesale Melia azedarach
Melia azedarach is known as the ‘White Cedar’ and ‘Persian Lilac’. It is not often that a tree gets such a good recommendation from both councils and landscapers, it may not be the perfect street tree, however it is very close to it. Being fast growing, yet smaller in stature than many this is a very adaptable tree available for sale from wholesale growers in a range of sizes.
A small to medium sized tree reaching around 10m in height with a spreading crown that forms a good dense canopy overtime, it has a number of landscaping uses.
Suited for use as a shade tree, as a street tree and in commercial landscaping situations where a deciduous shade tree may be required.
Foliage is a deep glossy green and the lilac flowers that appear in spring give the tree one of its common names.
Flowers are followed by small orange to brown berries and the tree is best planted away from pathways.
Very tolerant of a range of soil conditions and regarded as drought tolerant one established.
Widely grown in Melbourne in parks and gardens.
