Latin Name:  Osmanthus x burkwoodii
Family:  Oleaceae
Author:  P.Green.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  3   Mature Width:  3

Habitat:  Not known in the wild.

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good loamy soil[1], but succeeds in any soil, including shallow chalk, in sun or part shade[11, 184, 202]. Dislikes unduly exposed conditions but succeeds in windier conditions than most other members of this genus[200]. Hardy to about -20°c[184]. A very ornamental plant[1], the flowers are deliciously scented. If plants are clipped after flowering they will flower more freely each year[200]. Rather slow growing according to one report[11], whilst another says that plants are very free growing once they are established[182].
