I have never, ever seen one like this...I'm impressed. Maybe the climate helps. Escallonia is used a lot here as hedges and my neighbor has a huge, tall one enclosing their property. About a month or so ago, he whacked it back to bare branches on the outside and within a couple of weeks it was solid green on that side again...
I saw this short hedge this last week and had to go back and take a look, at first thought it might be jasminum polyanthum (a?)...
Yesterday was cold and windy, today is about 85...far TOO HOT.
