If you have a nose these will stop you in your tracks! Bless the woman who planted these along my hike in Ojai, CA. Thank you :)

The fragrance is so lovely!! I definitely know they’re blooming by their scent before actually seeing the little flowers!

What a great video, thank you for your information, as I feel the same way, fragrance is unmatched, except maybe gardenias, lol.

[@shannongardens5476]

Thank you!! You’re quite right regarding the gardenias! Mine are blooming right now and the fragrance is absolutely wonderful!

Love our Tea Olive bushes. My only issue is I need to trim them to keep them in check by the house but they seem to be always blooming. It's now Jan 19th and are in fool bloom. Crazy. Oh we're in Zone 9B

Can you tell me if Birds would like to go in the San Jose Olive tree? Thank You

Hello, as I was watching your video I was wondering if the tea olive leaves could be used to make tea?

[@shannongardens5476]

I honestly have no idea! My personal take is that I don’t ingest anything that doesn’t say it’s edible on the tag! 😊

Hi, I have 12 osmanthus burkwoodii plants as a hedge but they are a little sticky at the bottom ...Could I just let them grow large and let it bush at the top? Greetings grom Belgium ... they grow slowly

[@shannongardens5476]

Hello! I’m not quite sure how to answer as I haven’t experienced that issue myself with my tea olives. I did a little research and one thing you may want to check is to make sure it’s not suffering from any pests or deficiencies causing the sparse growth at the bottom. A local nursery may be able to assist more and provide some recommendations. That being said, I actually don’t my prune my tea olives at all and let them grow naturally. Good luck with yours and please let me know how they work out!
