An attractive ornamental shade tree native to Australia and parts of Asia, commonly found along rainforest margins and in open woodland settings. Growing to approximately 7–10 metres tall, White Cedar is valued for its graceful form, fern-like foliage and masses of fragrant lilac-purple flowers that appear in spring and early summer. These are followed by clusters of decorative golden-yellow berries that persist on the tree well into winter after the leaves have fallen.
A close relative of the Neem tree, White Cedar has traditionally been valued for its durable timber and natural insect-repelling properties. The leaves have been used as a botanical insecticide, while the hard berries have been used for beads and craftwork. The tree provides excellent shade and habitat for birds, which readily consume the fruit. All parts of the plant are poisonous to mammals if ingested and should be kept away from livestock, pets and children.
