Enjoy stunning purple blooms without the hassle! MicroStarts' Melia azedarach are a non-invasive, sterile variety, offering all the beauty these trees are known for without the unwanted spread or messy fruit common in other types. Melia azedarach are showy deciduous trees that forms rounded, dense crowns, and are known for their fragrant clusters of small flowers. In non-sterile varieties, these flowers give way to marble-sized yellow drupes that linger through winter, eventually wrinkling and fading to nearly white. However, this sterile variety eliminates this mess, making it an ideal ornamental choice.
