The tree has become the symbol for the planet, and used as a symbol of peace. The fragrance is a pleasant one and has therapeutic properties. The wood of the tree has a different, but equally pleasant and long lasting smell. The tree wood is used for construction of furniture and other interior details. Visitor are warned the flowers can, in rare instances, have a yellow fungus disease. This fungus is poisonous to the touch.
