Distinguishing traits: Luscious and pervasive fragrance, in spring and summer, emanates from tiny white flowers you’ll hardly notice. Evergreen glossy leaves create a dignified, neat round topped tree – needs prunging when young to encourage a single shrub shape as a patio tree. How to use it: Desne and shrubby shape makes good screen or background shrub; trim lightly to make a loose informal headge. Or train as single-trunk small tree for patio. Wherever you plant it, make sure it’s close enough to your outdoor living spaces to appreciate the fragrance. Before you plant it: Shop for plants that suit the situation you have: bushy and compact for a hedge or screen; trained to a single trunk for a patio tree.
