My sister has a Melia azedarach or chinaberry tree
in her yard and she wants to prevent the berries from forming. A gardener
told her of an arborist who said she can inject the tree with something to
prevent it from forming its berries. Has anyone heard of this
treatment? Does it work? Do you know what they are using to
inject? Will it harm the tree?
Interestingly, I read the chinaberry is cultivated
for its berries to be used in floral arrangements - one person's treasure is
another person's weed.
Thank you.
