Murraya paniculata

 

Orange Jessamine

Murraya is a tropical, evergreen plant bearing small, white, scented flowers, which is grown as an ornamental tree or hedge. Murraya is closely related to Citrus, and bears small orange to red fruit resembling kumquats, though some cultivars do not set fruit. Frequently used as hedging, it is spread by birds, self-propagates and the roots are also invasive in seach of moisture. It invades natural habitats and is highly ranked on Australia's most invasive weed list.

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Murraya plants require protection from hot, direct sunlight. When growing Murraya orange jasmine, locate the plant where it receives morning sunlight and afternoon shade, or alternatively, where it is in broken sunlight or dappled shade all day. Well-drained soil is critical, as orange jasmine doesn’t do well in waterlogged soil. If your soil lacks drainage, improve soil conditions by digging in organic material such as compost, chopped bark or leaf mulch.
