The combination of the
elegant, delicate leaves and the silky pale trunk, makes Murraya
paniculata very appreciated in China and in India,
where it is a spontaneous species. The white, sweet-smelling,
bell-shaped flowers look like the flowers of Jasmine,
while the summer colourful berries seem oranges on a small
scale. It is also known as silk tree for the silky aspect of its
bark. This evergreen shrub is a tropical species and needs to be
cultivated in an adequate environment; in mild regions it is
used just as indoor bonsai tree.
