A fine ?wall shrub?, the fragrance of the small but conspicuous yellow flowers of this 10-30' shrub/tree are a special treat in late winter/early spring. S-PSh/M

We occasionally obsess about azara, including this Chilean species, a large shrub or small tree that is a bit gawkier than others, but its intensely fragrant, yellow powderpuff blooms in spring far outweigh petty physical flaws. Easily to 12' or so and up to 30' over a long time, the canopy becomes denser in age, with very dark green, leathery leaves and fruit that birds love. Sun, good drainage and at least occasional summer water. Frost hardy to USDA zone 8.
