This is a true jasmine that I have been developing from cut down nursery stock for a few years...I am finally breathing a sigh of relief as it has become pretty well established this year. Eventually I hope to work it down into an oval with a glaze that will complement the white flowers.

The tree currently stands about 11 inches tall.

Regards,
Tom

Tom,

All trunk at the moment and a good one at that.

Gives a visual impression of leaning over to the left due to the kink.

I feel you will have to develop the top to the right to counteract this or lean it to the right about 15 deg.

Thanks for the input, Tim. Yes, you are quite right...all crown development from here on out. I was posting to show the bloom a little. I originally chose it because of the trunk. The original tree was about 3 feet high and 3 feet wide - the greenhouse had given up on it at the time because of an unbelievable infestation of mealybugs - don't think I have ever seen so many on one tree :)

Continued regards,
Tom

HELLO,

I wonder if somebody knows where I could by a Jasminum Officinale or common jasmin in the Montreal, Canada area or if you are aware of any nursery or greenhouse that would ship it to Montreal. Right now I have one specimen with starlike white flowers and nice glossy leaves; however, pretty and scented as they are, they do not have the wonderfully perfumed flower of the common jasmine. I have looked all over without success. Can someone help me in my search, Please?

I love the movement in the trunk!
