Tips and curiosities of the tomolo
The ailanthus, scientifically known as Melia azedarach, is a tree native to East Asia that found its place in Europe and America starting in the 18th century. This tree, also known as the "tree of heaven," is widely recognized for its extraordinary ability to adapt to different climatic and environmental conditions, making it an extremely resilient and versatile species.
One of the most fascinating characteristics of the ailanthus is its flowering. The flowers of the ailanthus are small but emit an intense and sweet fragrance that attracts a variety of pollinating insects, particularly bees. This not only contributes to the biodiversity of the area where it grows but also to the production of high-quality honey. Ailanthus honey is renowned for its delicate and aromatic flavor, with subtle floral notes that make it unique and precious.
Besides its apicultural value, the ailanthus has a significant ecological impact. Its ability to grow in poor and polluted soils makes it a useful species for environmental recovery and the reforestation of degraded areas. Additionally, the ailanthus is known for its rapid growth and longevity, being able to live for decades and reach considerable heights.
