Comments (17)Ahh...what great responses!! (hi Kat! *wavin*) I'm REALLY glad I have this plant, now! It happened that I have it - quite by accident. I was really looking for sweet almond (which I've since purchased) and asked for sweet olive, instead. DUH...but, it has bloomed and does smell grand - as does the sweet almond! We're going to dig up a penta that is near the patio and move that somewhere else...the sweet Olive will go there in it's place. We won't even see it right now because there is a drape of moonflower vines all across that end of the patio. I love all your descriptions and comments! Thanks....See MoreOsmanthus fragrans - Tea Olive, Fragrant Olive, Sw
Comments (13)I have two that are hanging on...I adore the scent, hubby can't smell them at all. Mine are very scrubby looking. Last fall I was in New Orleans walking thru the French Quarter with a friend. We started smelling a glorious scent which I thought was tea olive. We rounded a corner and there was a stand of about 8 tea olives in tree form, about 10 feet high and loaded with blossoms. Shopkeepers were standing out on their stoops to enjoy the fragrance. Nothing like it....See MorePropagating Sweet Olive (osmanthus fragrans)
