Fragrant Tea Olive

Fragrant Tea Olive is a popular tree in Japan and I think everyone like this tree because the flowers of this tree have good smell. And when we find this fragrance on a street or in a park, we know autumn has come.

We call this tree “Kin Mokusei (金木犀)” and we call white flower version of Fragrant Tea Olive as “Gin-Mokusei (銀木犀)”.
