From fall through winter and into spring, when temperatures are ranging between 45 and 75 degrees F, abundant, snowball-shape fragrant flowers completely encircle almost every stem. The flowers are so fragrant it takes only one plant to fill a half-acre front or back yard with intoxicating, sweet perfume, hence the other common name for this plant: Sweet Olive. You won't have to wait long for flowers as this cultivar starts blooming during its first year of life. The lustrous, elongated evergreen, dark green leaves are an excellent backdrop to the flowers. All grown up, you can expect 'Fudingzhu' Tea Olive to reach maybe 10 feet in height or a little taller over time and maybe 8 feet wide. You can choose to grow this one as a large shrub or lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive small tree. Exceptionally easy to grow and care for, we've seen absolutely no problems with insects or disease and deer won't touch it! \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eWith and upright growth habit and rounded form 10 to 12 feet tall and 6 to 8 feet wide (depending on pruning), the Fudingzhu Tea Olive can be grown as a large shrub or small tree. As a shrub, its dense foliage makes it ideal for use as a specimen, an evergreen hedge, privacy screen, or background in landscape borders, or to frame the corners or fill voids between widely-spaced windows in home foundation plantings. As it grows taller, lower branches can be removed to form a highly attractive focal point specimen tree for use in sunny to partially shaded landscape borders and home foundation plantings. There's no need to plant this one near windows as one plant can fill a front or back yard with sweet aroma. A fine addition to fragrance gardens, white theme gardens, Asian gardens and Xeriscape gardens (low water needs).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSuggested Spacing: \u003c\/span\u003e 5 to 6 feet apart for a solid hedge;  12 feet or more apart for space between plants\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:  \u003c\/span\u003eFor our customers who live and garden North of USDA Cold Hardiness Zone 7b, where this Tea Olive variety is not reliably winter hardy, you'll be happy to know it can be grown in containers that can be brought indoors during winter and placed back outside when temperatures warm up in spring.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGrowing Preferences\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Fudingzhu Tea Olive is very easy to grow in most any average, moist but well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. We suggest at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day or all-day lightly filtered sun for best flowering. As with many other plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil can be problematic.

Plant arrived promptly and in a well-packed container, in robust condition despite the season. Appreciate the plant-specific information page included in package. Make sure to give it a light pruning to remove dead branches and encourage growth as it is likely to lose and want to replace many of its leaves at the start of spring if you're settling it into a new spot. Mine after about two weeks is now heavy with new leaf growth and starting to see flowers bloom again.-------------------------------------------------------------We are so glad you are pleased and we hope you enjoy it for years to come!

Their plant selections are varied; their packaging and shipping is secure and prompt; and their plant quality and service is superb. A recent purchase was ‘Fudingzhu’ Tea Olive (Osmanthus fragrans), difficult to find in the trade. I received a healthy, robust specimen which is happily pushing new growth here in my Zone 10a garden. It receives a.m. sun and p.m. shade which suits it fine. It’s even showing some bloom—after only 2 wks since planting.
