Murraya Species, Orange Jasmine, Orange Jessamine

Is this plant related to stephanotis?

In Florida, nurseries have been forbidden to sell this plant due to the fact that it serves as a host plant for the Citrus Greening disea...Read Morese which is wiping out both dooryard and commercial citrus groves. All 13 of my citrus got this disease beginning in 2005. There is a orange jasmine hedge along my next door neighbor's back yard boundary.

Hasn't bloomed for me yet, and it's about ten years old, but I enjoy the lovely leaves and a generally rather elegant shape ( I prune and care for it in a semi-bonsai sort of way, since it's too leggy for a traditional bonsai). It makes for a bit of an unusual houseplant.

I live in SW Florida and I think this may be my all time favorite plant. At our previous house I planted a few and loved the natural shap...Read Moree, the birds nesting in them, the butterflies, the screen effect, the fact that they naturalize and I can replant the babies :) and they grow pretty fast. When we moved I dug up about 15 babies, potted & brought them with us. I planted them about 4 feet apart. They are growing into a beautiful natural hedge and thick enough I can barely see the neighbors on the other side. I don't like to plant anything anymore that takes too much work or pruning. I have never pruned these and once they are established I very rarely have had to water them as they are extremely drought tolerant. If you plant them initially is some good soil, water them in well for the first two weeks you shouldn't have to do much after that. They prefer to be an understory plant, with some shade, but also do very well in the open. The blooms are tiny white, extremely fragrant smelling like orange blossoms. HIGHLY RECOMMEND if you want a low maintenance, fragrant, non messy, fast growing dense bush that attracts wildlife! :) :) love it ! love it !

I've had so many of these and always end up digging them up and giving them away. One thing I do not like about them is the constant prun...Read Moreing. Down here they grow really fast and get really scraggly looking, even if they are trained as a standard. However, they are almost carefree. Once established, fairly drought tolerant. Do fine in our Alkaline soils, can take full sun but do better in partial sun. They don't get quite as leggy in full sun, but they do take a lot more water.

As other mentioned the scent is amazing. a very strong Jasmine scent. It doesn't waft as much as Michelia Alba or Canang Odorata but it's very nice to bring inside and put in a vase. The flowers don't last long very long in a vase with water.

I have a big one that I'm getting ready to dig up and I'm going to try it in a pot and see if I can bonsai it. Will report back how it takes the move since it's been in the ground a couple of years.

I had two bushes. And they both died from the frost. The bark pealed off and they never came back. but it is a very nice plant to have.

Fragrance is divine and reaches far around the area. I have planted 2 dwarf varieties, one in soil bed and another in clay pot. Blooms heavily in rainy season monsoon but occasionally in other warmer months as well. This is the queen of fragrance, no match with other jasmines. Jasmine sambac does compete it though.

Love this plant! I have dwarf variety and enjoy it's shiny lacy leaves, interesting grayish stem and those absolutely wonderful flowers. ...Read MoreIt starts blooming being only 1 inch tall and is almost ever-blooming given warm temps and bright light. It can be grown as a small houseplant but the bigger a pot the bigger it grows. It branches beautifully and looks like bonsai with no effort on your part plus the heavenly smell no bonsai could even dream of. Well worth $20 I've spent on-line to get it.

I just bought a small plant to replace a few plants that the gardener dug up after the building was tented for termites. Although the plants lost their leaves the remaining bushes sprang back to life in a couple of months. I have had success in propagating cuttings of this plant by putting the gardener's trimmings in potting soil during our short rainy season. They must have been popular in Los Angeles during the 30's and 40's when these plants were put in the ground.

I started it from seed ..It is a slow grower but not very needy at all. I do overwinter it inside. I can hardly wait for it to bloom..
