Fragrant Tea Olive grows up to 9m (30feet) but slowly. This tree has flower in autumn and spread strong great fragrant odor around it.
We call white flowers Fragrant Tea olive as Gin Mokusei (銀木犀) in Japan. And orange color Fragrant Tea Olive as Kin Mokusei (金木犀). Gin means silver and Kin means gold.

I would like to know if fragrant olive trees have aggressive roots. I want to plant one close to house and one close to sidewalk. Thank you.
Hi Gina
Sorry I think the root of this tree is not aggressive, so for growing this tree you need to start from seeds or cutting.
Thank you.
