Post #4691235

I fell in love with the scent of this tree when in Louisiana many, many years back. I have tried growing them and have not had much luck. However, yesterday I found a pretty good sized one for a good price at my local nursery. It was blooming and I actually got to smell those wonderful blossoms. My question is whether to try to plant in full sun, which can be pretty devastating here, or would some shade hurt the plant? I have more places that are part sun/part shade than full sun and most things do pretty well because full sun is a little too much. Any help appreciated. I want this thing to grow and smell great for a long, long time.

Thanks

Leslie
