Sure you have a choisia? leaves are exactly as described and very

aromatic,
flowers twice each year with scented white flowers, only snag is the

blasted
caterpillers that reduce it to shreds each winter!


I am not sure that the OP's description of the leaves is a match. My C.
ternata "Sundance" has triplet leaves, not quintuplet. Mind you, they are
quite aromatic.

Your quite right, three leaflets on Choisya ternata, I missread the original
post as saying 3 (dyslexia rules ko), Choisya Aztec Pearl has 5 leaflets
(and does not get chewed to bits by caterpllars!) sorry to confuse!
