AntD Tree: need help! can't pass react element as icon OR title for antd tree - reactjs

Question

I'm using the AntD tree and I have a react element that I want to pass as either an icon or a title because it has custom styling. Due to it being IP I can't share too much code, but my question is:
how can I pass a react element (see below i.e. generic name) as either a title or icon and have antD tree render it?
i.e. this is what I want to pass as a prop to the icon or title
import React from 'react';
const genericName = (props) => {
// code uses props to get some infor for Color
// cant share code due to proprietary reasons
// but it is not needed for this question
const colorHTML = getColor(Color);
return (
<div>
<div className={`colors from`}>${colorHTML}</div>
{pin}
</div>
);
};
export default genericName;
in my console you can see node.icon is a typeof react.element. I want to target that and just pass the prop into antD tree as either title or icon
i.e.
return (
<Tree
icon={node.icon}
/>
)
I've searched and similar answers were given before antD forbid the use of children and strictly allows treeData. All examples I see only use strings in titles/icons, but since antD documentation is very limited, I need to know if my use case is possible. Right now, for the life of me I can't understand why it doesn't populate.
Thank you in advance.

It should definitely work to put a JSX component as title within treeData. Take a look at this snippet, I added a Icon here in one of the titles:
import React from 'react'
import { RightCircleOutlined } from '#ant-design/icons'
type Props = {}
import { Tree } from 'antd';
import type { DataNode, TreeProps } from 'antd/es/tree';
const treeData: DataNode[] = [
{
title: <span>{<RightCircleOutlined />} parent</span>, //icon added here
key: '0-0',
children: [
{
title: 'parent 1-0',
key: '0-0-0',
disabled: true,
children: [
{
title: 'leaf',
key: '0-0-0-0',
disableCheckbox: true,
},
{
title: 'leaf',
key: '0-0-0-1',
},
],
},
{
title: 'parent 1-1',
key: '0-0-1',
children: [{ title: <span style={{ color: '#1890ff' }}>sss</span>, key: '0-0-1-0' }],
},
],
},
];
const Demo: React.FC = () => {
const onSelect: TreeProps['onSelect'] = (selectedKeys, info) => {
console.log('selected', selectedKeys, info);
};
const onCheck: TreeProps['onCheck'] = (checkedKeys, info) => {
console.log('onCheck', checkedKeys, info);
};
return (
<Tree
checkable
defaultExpandedKeys={['0-0-0', '0-0-1']}
defaultSelectedKeys={['0-0-0', '0-0-1']}
defaultCheckedKeys={['0-0-0', '0-0-1']}
onSelect={onSelect}
onCheck={onCheck}
treeData={treeData}
/>
);
};
export default Demo;
