The Saga Tree is a deciduous tree that grows up to 20m tall. It is hardy, fast-growing, and low-maintenance. It has a large spreading crown, making it suitable for providing shade in large gardens. The characteristic scarlet seeds are known for their uniform weight: 4 seeds make up 1 gram. Because of this, they were used widely in the past as weight measures for gold and silver.
