Hello!!
I just move and trying to know how to care my plants.
I have a hedge, that has white flowers I think they are jasmine.
But they have small black seeds and I am not sure if is a jasmine anymore.
Do you know the name of this plant?
Thanks!

Hi slaguila,

That shrub sure reminds me of Star Jasmine, here are a couple for comparison:
Star Jasmine (Jasminum multiflorum)
Star Jasmine (Jasminum laurifolium var. laurifolium)

Found it: Jasminum-officinale
Poet's Jasmine (Jasminum officinale)
My hedge has Surinam cherry and this jasmine the jasmine is taking over the Surinam, its strangling them. I am now pulling the jasmine vines one by one, they are very hard and long. I'll probably keep one but will be on a pot.
Thanks!

It isn't J. officinale, which has a significant tube on the flower.
J. multiflorum or nitidum are good candidates.
