Nursery contributed plant descriptions

A Pittosporum for USDA zone 7! one known to have survived many harsh winters at the JC Raulston Arboretum in North Carolina. Having been introduced there as the completely unrelated Phillyrea, it was only after many years the plant was noticed and properly identified as this recently described and excellent species. From China, a tall, evergreen shrub, to 10-12 ft, densely branched and adorned with small, narrow leaves. Blooms in spring with small, white fragrant flowers followed by tiny, black fruits in orange capsules. Sun to part shade with regular water. A treasure for the Pittosporum-lovers' garden!
