Bernieh:

Beautiful photo! That plant looks familar! LOL! : > )

It's commonly grown here as a hedge, or small tree.

Yes ... it's common over here to Andy ... it's always a delight to have in the garden.

Bernieh:

This plant and its fragrance always reminds me of Disneyland. They have gigantic hedges of Murraya panaculata growing at the entrance and throughout the park.

We usually have hedges of this planted in our suburban shopping centre garden strips ... and in street plantings.

Bernieh:

I bet it's an incredible frangrance throughout your city now. Orange Jessamine does have a frangrance like Citrus flowers...as they are in the same family (Rutaceae)
