Like Clip Like Clip 7 Comments Ellen H Cullman, AL Probably a tea olive. Douglas or Walter will know for sure. A friend was just telling me yesterday about how fragrant hers was. Stacy W Canton, GA Ellen, I think you're right. I just looked it up and while the tea olive had different leaves the fragarant tea olive looks exactly like it. Thank so much. We are putting in a bunch of shrubs this fall and I'll be sure to add this to the list. Paula R Tampa, FL it's also called osthmanthus Donna Dixson Buford, GA Osmanthus also called Tea Olive Holly and sometimes Sweet Olive. MARY T Fountain, CO Oh, this looks lovely. Does anyone know what kind of climate it would have to be in? Donna Dixson Buford, GA Zones 7-9 Mary, I think you are a zone 5b, so probably not. http://www.plantmaps.com/80817 Douglas Hunt New Smyrna Beach, FL Osmanthus has a heavenly fragrance and is a great shrub for warmer parts of the country (sorry Mary T).
