Extremely handsome, small and arching, evergreen tree, very slow-growing to 15 ft, with small, deep green leaves, and, in late spring, tiny spring flowers that are intensely scente d (with the aroma of white chocolate -- or so our friends insist). Orange berries follow for autumn interest. Site in cool sun or part shade in well-drained soil with regular summer water. Can be used in container as a showoff specimen. Frost hardy in USDA zone 8, suffering possible leaf damage below 15F. BOXLEAF AZARA Salicaceae Show more
