White Cedar
Melia azederach
This small to large tree grows in dry and coastal rainforests of northern and eastern Australia and South-East Asia. White Cedar is recognised by the furrowed brown bark, winter-deciduous large dark green fern-like leaves and abundant clusters of fragrant, pink or lilac star-shaped flowers in spring.
The small yellow fruit are poisonous to humans and animals. White Cedars are widely planted for summer shade. The brown to dark red timber is of a high quality, resembling teak.
How high can I grow? Up to 25m.
