In a Nutshell:

* Melia azedarach, commonly known by many names, including white cedar, chinaberry tree, bead-tree, Cape lilac, syringa berrytree, Persian lilac, and Indian lilac, is a species of deciduous tree in the mahogany family, Meliaceae, that is native to Indomalaya and Australasia.

* The adult tree has a rounded crown, and commonly measures 7–12 metres (20–40 ft) tall, however in exceptional circumstances M. azedarach can attain a height of 45 metres (150 ft).

* Melia azedarach should not be confused with the Azadirachta trees, which are trees in the Meliaceae family that are classified separately from the Melia azedarach tree.

* Common names of Melia azedarach include chinaberry, Persian lilac, white cedar, Texas umbrella, bead-tree, Cape lilac, Ceylon cedar, Syringa, malai vembu , bakain, zanzalakht and dharek or dhraik Turaka vepa in Telugu. Other common names include Ghora neem (Ghora meaning horse) in Bengali Hebbevu in Kannada and Vilayati (foreign) neem in Bundelkhand region, and Bakain in Haryana, Rajasthan, East Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand region of India. It has been naturalized in Madagascar where it is called vaondelaka.

* The main utility of chinaberry is its timber. This is of medium density, and ranges in colour from light brown to dark red. In appearance it is readily confused with the unrelated Burmese Teak (Tectona grandis). Melia azedarach in keeping with other members of the family Meliaceae has a timber of high quality, but as opposed to many almost-extinct species of mahogany it is under-utilised. more...
