What is it? Tree or bush? Does it have edible fruits?
28 Apr, 2012
it's a large shrub with fragrant flowers and the leaves if crushed are very fragrant too, no fruits but a lovely shrub...

Are they frost tolerant, SL?
29 Apr, 2012
they can take some frost Kat yes, but a real hard -8 or -10 will do some damage
