Ann, it sounds like you have these too. Yes? Aren't they lovely?!!
Tea Olives are plain evergreen shrubs. Throughout the year, these itty-bitty, teeny-tiny white flowers appear with the most delightful fragrance. The flowers are so tiny, no one really believes that lovely scent comes from them - and that it travels so far. Our neighbors enjoy the scent as though they were planted in their yards. We have 14 planted at our current house, and a number of them at our property.
I'm not quite sure how to describe the fragrance. I looked it up online and others describe it as citrus, apricot and peach.
While poking around I came across this article:

They make a lovely evergreen hedge. I'm hoping because of their dense limb structure I can use them to protect some of the garden from the deer at our property. The first ones we planted (in 1999) grew about 20' tall before we pruned them, so the deer should not be able to jump them or go through them. (That's my hope!)
Fleur, here's the full size pic:
Leon, I agree! This has been a great source for finding new plants.
