FREE: China Berry Tree

The listing, China Berry Tree has ended.

I found this stalk of a small tree about 4 feet tall, full of beautiful lavender flowers....I pulled it up by it's roots as I had found this behind the building where I worked; a small patch of woods.This was 9 years ago and now this tree is taller than a 3 story building. I planted it and then my mother got very ill and I cared for her for 4 years before she passed; thus the little tree got no attention from me. One day I noticed it had GROWN. Wow, had it grown....it was full of these beautiful lavender flowers. By now it was too tall for me to do anything but let it grow. I would love to have kept it trimmed back to a smaller tree but I didn't. Easy to grow from seed as I have new ones coming up all the time around it.

I included pics of the beautiful beads you can make from the seeds which come with a natural hole in the middle. You will have to look them up online to get the details as I don't have room here, but you just boil the seeds in water and the outer layer comes off and they can be dyed. I have made a couple of bracelets but have given them away. The seeds are beautiful too. All Listia rules apply. Happy bidding and if you win and need more info, just send me a message. Thanks and God Bless
