Chinaberry tree is recognized by its rounded crown that spans broadly over its stiff, coarse branches. The leaves of the plant are pinnate, presenting a feather-like appearance, while the fragrant purple-tinged white flowers blossom in broad clusters. Berries follow the flowering season, morphing from green to a bright yellow as they mature. Typically, chinaberry tree reaches heights of up to 33 feet (10 meters), thriving in well-drained soils and requiring minimal maintenance once established. Its robust nature allows it to adapt to various soil conditions, enabling it to survive in a wide range of environments.
