The single tree in Martin and Siles garden is a..........

China Berry Tree or Indian Lilac.

Martin tells me that it is a member of the 'mahogany' family and its wood has, indeed............

..............a dark centre.

I am taking this little, pruned branch back with me to see if it will 'turn' into a pretty object.
