Top - Along the coast magnificent Autumn colours abound as the structural composition of Summer foliage in some species dies off in anticipation of Winter. In cultural conditions the Persian Lilac Tree can tolerate a wide range of soil types and is a good windbreaker with Umbraculiformis - an umbrella shaped crown. The tree drupes golden-yellow bead fruit and in Summer produces a lovely fragrance however it is deciduous poisonous, so handle with carealthough the birds don't mind it. The tree is an important part of South African history since various parts have been used for a wide range of things such as raft making and even sewing needles.The botony factor is that the tree contains Saponins which is an ingredient for making a crude soapy washing liquid
