Expert Gardener 1-1.5 ft tall Green Sweet Olive Live Shrub in 1- Gallon Grower Pot

<p>Osmanthus Fragans or Tea Olive, also called Sweet Olive, is a large evergreen shrub or small tree that will make a beautiful and fragrant addition to your yard or garden area. The lustrous, medium-green leaves have paler undersides and are joined from October through March by a multitude of small, but extremely fragrant, white blossoms. They perfume a large area of the landscape and can be showy in some years. With its upright oval to columnar growth habit in youth, Sweet Osmanthus is ideal for use as an unclipped hedge or trained as a small tree, and should be placed where its fragrance can be enjoyed. Since the flowers are not particularly showy, people will wonder where the delightful fragrance is coming from. This is a subtle plant which should be used more often in landscapes. The Tea Olive has a medium growth-rate and reaches a mature height of 15-20 feet with a spread of 10-15 feet. It is hardy in USDA Zones 7-10. Sweet Osmanthus should be grown in full sun or partial shade in well-drained soil. Plants are fairly drought-tolerant once established but will perform their best with ample moisture. Plants thin somewhat in the partial shade, but form a dense crown in a sunny location. The Tea Olive is adaptable to many different soil types. It is shipped in a #1 pot with an average height between 12-18 inches.</p>
