Looking for some murraya paniculata (orange jessamine)
I want to have frangant white hedge but I haven't seen any nurseries around
here carrying any.
I had heard online that it was becoming weedy in some areas.


I suggest you find something else. Murraya paniculata wants to grow BIG. I
have seen it 5m high in inner western Sydney (how often do you want to have to
trim it?). The scent is also cloying.

Other scented white hedging plants include abelia, Iceberg roses, gardenias,
or you could try a creeper like star jasmine or bower of beauty .
