Description

The listing, Neem (5) has ended.

Neem belongs to the botanical family Meliaceae. That means it is related to the mahogany tree. (The Meliaceae family is also called the mahogany family)

Neem is a very attractive, fast growing and evergreen tree.

It has a straight trunk and the tree can reach a height of 30 metres and more, though 15 to 20 metres is the average. The bark is hard, rough and scaly, fissured even in young trees. It's often brown, but in older trees it can be pale or greyish-black.

Spreading branches with dark green leaves form a dense, round canopy, up to 20 metres across. (It makes a very good shade tree).

Leaves are alternate (not opposite each other along the branches) and consist of several leaflets with serrated edges. You can see the leaves in the banner of this site.

The flowers are large clusters of up to 250 individual white blooms. The whole cluster can be quite large, but the individual flowers are only a few mm across. They look inconspicuous, however, the scent is just heavenly. You can smell a flowering neem tree from miles away.

The olive like, edible fruit is oval to round and thin skinned. (Edible does not mean tasty...) It is green initially and turns yellow when ripe. Every fruit contains one, and sometimes two or three, seeds.
