The fruit of this chinaberry tree is very pretty to see during this cloudy, rainy December period.

Their lovely yellow are definitely very welcome bright spots in the overcast.

Despite their loveliness, the berries are actually poisonous to birds, animals and humans. They can be medically processed and used in the treatment of some viruses, but are otherwise of little immediate practical use.

I find this tree beautiful and have often sat under it in the summer while admiring some of the adjacent rose garden. Here’s a picture from mid-September.

The overhang at the top of the above photo is from the chinaberry tree that’s shown in the first three pictures.

Happy Wednesday.
