LOVE this wonderful plant - subtle beautiful fragrance while attracting the hummers and butterflies
August 2011..photo taken during my visit at Hortus Amsterdam.
Fruit last on the tree a long time.
This grows as a single trunk tree, 15'. This is the last tree the humming birds visit before they fly south in my area.
The flowers fill the yard with a wonderful fragrance. The leaves, when rubbed, smell just like Peanut Butter!
