    Description

     It has compound, pinnate leaves with up to 10 pairs leaflets. The leaves are shiny so it makes an attractive ornamental tree. Flowers are small green-red or orange and fragrant. They occur in dense clusters or panicles. The fruit is three sided, green and turns brown on the outside when dry. When the fruit splits open, it shows the bright red interior, with 3 pairs of velvety blue-black seeds. This is where the tree gets its common name Black Pearl Tree
