Tree with small very fragrant white flowers
Comments (4)Thanks for the response, lazygardens. Not sure why the picture didn't post, it was in the preview. I'll try again (I'm new to the site)....See MoreTree/shrub with very fragrant white flowers in late winter
Comments (3)Another, similar one that is grown is L. standishii. Hybrids between the two are also cultivated. Specific anatomical features are used to tell them apart....See MoreHelp identify very fragrant tree
Comments (5)That sounds like a fragrant tea olive - osmanthus fragrans. Smells almost like bubble-yum bubblegum. They're really more like a shrub when they're small but you can limb them up into tree form. They grow to maybe 25 ft tall. Green, slick leaves with tiny white buds. You can smell them from a mile away and they're the best smelling thing I've ever smelled outside. Honeysuckle, jasmine, etc. don't even come close to the scent of a fragrant tea olive....See More[image] a very fragrant tree
Comments (5)Hi snasxs, There are a few planted right in my neighborhood that seem to just go without any special attention. The one in my yard was planted a few years ago. Since then I have fertilized it once, and give it the occasional watering. In general, very easy in cultivation. The fragrance is wonderfull. You just can't seem to get enough, kind of like the first time you get scent of a Plumeria, or any of the Citrus flowers. Very thick. Thanks for the compliments on the tree and city. Here is closer look at the flowers on mine. Take care. -Brian...See MoreMaggie4
