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. Anyone know where I can get a bunch - maybe 6-9 or so? I'm in Perth. Thanks Blair |

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 . -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.

I don't have a problem with 5m but I didn't think it grew quite that big - I
thought more like 3m... As for the other suggestions - I was considering Choysia. I don't want roses and I have tried gardenias in the spot and they've been scorched to death. The spot gets full sun all day after about 10:30 am and it can get pretty hot. I have also considered star jasmine and like it - but its not quite what I'm after for the spot. I might well use it elsewhere 'though. Thanks anyways. I'll check out the Abelia. B "Chookie" wrote in message ...

Possibly your cooler winters will calm it down a bit. As for the other suggestions - I was considering Choysia.

I have a loose hedge of 'Moonlight' grevilleas on my side fence at the front. It's almost north-south and completely exposed in summer. The grevilleas have done better than anythin else I've tried, so if you don't mind sacrificing scent they could be worth a go. -- Chookie -- Sydney, Australia (Replace "foulspambegone" with "optushome" to reply) "Parenthood is like the modern stone washing process for denim jeans.
