This does not look like the night blooming jasmine I have. Mine is more of a tree than a shrub and has tight cluisters of about twenty or so small blooms. The leaves are more oval than long and are shiney and thick-ish. When I bought it, it was tagged as a night blooming jasmine but I have never seen another like it. It has lost all of the foliage and flowers over the cold season. I keep hoping to see something spouting on it but no luck yet!! Any advice?

abecerra: By your description, I'm pretty sure what you have is murraya paniculata, or orange jessamine. We call it "Cafe de la India" or "Indian Coffee" in Puerto Rico, I guess because of the red seeds, which resemble the coffee berry. The fragrance is exquisite. Good luck!

I remembering this plant from my native country Cuba. I was checking Ebay and is a vendor that selling it on Ebay and said it is hardy in zone 7 that is Pa were I live.
I just got it, but after reading in here, I am afraid to plant it in my flower bed. It is true or I may plant it in a pot to keep it inside in winter time?
Any sugestion?
