Is this really a tree or a shrub? I cannot say enough about how much I enjoy this plant! It is now past mid-May and it's already been flowering for weeks with it's wonderful scent.
Being evergreen, wonderfully frangrant, drought & pest resistant, what more could one ask? I had a neighbor take cuttings last fall, they are already in bloom!
Mine had been labled 'Wheeler's Dwarf' but after 6? years it is 6' high x 7' wide. I have NEVER watered or fertilized it and it never fails to delight me. Full Georgia sun, no burn, no wilt, & no care, I do take bouquet cuttings to enjoy in the house.

I do like this tree when it is in its proper place. Very pretty foligae and flowers.
An improper location is above the sidewalk leading into the front door as the seed pods are very sticky and messy and track very easily.
The flowers are fragrant and very attractive to butterflies.
