A friend of mine cherished the visits from his grandchildren, but worried that the younger ones would eventually forget about their time together.

He wanted to create memories that would outlive him. He's a big believer that smells make a stronger impact than sights or sounds.

So he started looking for a flowering shrub that would give a unique fragrance that would be associated with his home only. Fragrant Tea Olive became his answer.

Osmanthus Fragrans, better known as Fragrant Tea Olive, produce small white blooms that pack a punch. Some describe it as a rose scent, others as gardenia and still others as jasmine.

These unusually scented flowers come on in late winter, signaling the beginning of spring, then bloom sporadically during the summer. For an encore, the Fragrant Tea Olive puts on a show again in the fall.

This isn't a flower you have to bury your nose in to smell. Some customers have said they can smell a row of Tea Olives from up to 100 feet away!

Plant them near your entryway, windows or patio. On breezy days let the refreshing fragrance fill your home.

Cut off a few branches for your kitchen, car, and office.

This strong scent attracts the usual summertime characters of hummingbirds and butterflies.

Plant the Fragrant Tea Olive in rows 4-5 feet apart to create a lush, thick privacy hedge. Other great planting ideas include planting at or near foundations, specimen plantings within flower beds, or in natural areas.

Adapts to any soil and thrives on neglect. Plant several for even greater fragrance.

These will quickly become your favorite plants.

Tea Olives are long-lived, but grow slowly. This is why we send out larger sizes. This way you don't have to wait a year or more before you can start enjoying them.

We recommend that you order now while bigger sizes are still available.

It's Easy to Plant your Fragrant Tea Olive
Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Fragrant Tea Olive. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.

Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Fragrant Tea Olive gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Fragrant Tea Olive again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.

Just received my Fragrant Tea Olive plants today...packaged very well, received very healthy and am looking forward to planting them in their new home this evening!

Thank you Fast Growing Trees!

By: Thomas

This one has been doing okay for me. I had it for almost a year, and it has not changed much.

By: Moises Alanis

Beautiful tree adapting well to our harsh conditions. Live in south Texas and temps already in the 90's and very little rain. Had it less than a year and so far so good.

By: Mary

I purchased this plant for the first time.I was looking for a more interesting evergreen choice.It arrived in great condition,but I wasn't sure it would survive a NJ winter.The first was one blizzard after another,the second,very mild.The tea olive has doubled in height,has new leaves fairly often and I look forward to enjoying it's fragrance before long.Much hardier than I would have imagined (just like the frost proof gardenia).

By: Kirsten G.

I bought these because I wanted something unusual. Most hedges in our area are laurel, rhody, mock orange, etc. The flowers smell lovely. When I purchased, the information on Fast Growing Trees said they grew 2-3 feet a year. That's no longer mentioned. The updated information states they're slow growers. Bummer. My husband especially wanted a hedge "yesterday". So I have to constantly talk them up a bit. Two also have leaves that crinkle and don't seem to thrive. They're lovely however, and out of ten plants that shipped, only two are affected.

By: mariana guirola

I discover that they need to be plenty of water.When water is not enough leaves are triangular and dark green, with abundant water leaves turn rounded, geen get lighter and brilliant and plant grow double. :)

By: sarah mcwilliams

My tree is so beautiful and the fragrance is intoxicating. I picked the dead heads of and got a ton more flowers. Luv this I will be buying more in future.
