Author Content HFreetage Millersburg, OH September 13, 2009 02:04 AM Post #7058046 Can someone please help me identify this tree? The one pictured is in Salem, Oregon (although I live in Ohio). Every summer when I visit my family in Oregon, I walk past this tree and it has the most amazing smell! I would love to plant one (or several!) but my cousin, grandma, and great-aunts have always called this a "perfume tree" and none of them know what the correct name for it is. Thanks in advance!

I looked at the link you posted, and I agree. Looking now for somewhere to buy one (or ten!) :) Thanks again! themoonhowl Prairieville, LA (Zone 9a) September 13, 2009 09:57 AM Post #7058569 You are very welcome. flowers_delight Leicester, NC (Zone 8a) September 22, 2009 10:48 AM Post #7091607 very nice, worth researching for sure
