It will probably smell very pleasantly of...wait for it...orange blossoms. There are a few Philadelphus without scent (P. inodorus is native to the eastern US), but the scented forms are more common as garden plants.

I’m vetting the fence will rip eventually. Based on what I have seen while shopping deer exclusion products plastic deer fencing does tend to be made and sold for seasonal use such as protection of warm season vegetable plantings. And not intended to be left in place throughout the year, for years at a time.

Thank you everyone. With the genus I googled and found a picture like mine and I saw "sweetshrub". That's what it was called when I bought it at Bordine's Nursery in 2005. I couldn't remember the name at all. It has been really happy since the neighbor had the huge old silver maple taken out that was shading it. Now it just gets some shade (a lot less) and it's doubled in size and has lots of brown blooms this year.

The OP may be confusing the Corylopsis/winter hazel with Oemleria cerasiformis or Indian plum/Osoberry. That is also budding out now in more rural, wooded locations and looks deceptively like the corylopsis from a distance. And it IS a native species.

If only I had a sense of smell. 🫤 Billions of sinus infections killed it decades ago. Thanks for the ID. At least I can still see its beauty.

Very easy to grow from cuttings if you scrounge some pieces. Just stick them in the ground and revisit next spring.
