The Murraya paniculata, or mock lime is a very common hedging plant in Sydney. The Murraya paniculate is a small to medium-sized shrub that can grow up to 3 metres tall. It has glossy dark green leaves and tiny white flowers that bloom in spring and summer. The Mock Lime is also known for its distinct citrusy smell, which makes it a popular choice for gardeners looking to add a bit of fragrance to their gardens. Murraya paniculate grows dense and can be pruned to make a hedge with lean lines which is why it makes a good choice for hedging. The mock lime can tolerate most soil types and is drought tolerant once established. While the murraya does better in full sun, it can tolerate part shade. If you're looking for a darker green hedge that's easy to care for, the Mock Lime is a great choice.
