Plant Description
Murraya paniculata, also known as Orange Jasmine or Mock Orange, is a popular ornamental plant native to South Asia and Southeast Asia. It is a small to medium-sized shrub or tree that can grow up to 5-7 meters tall. The plant is characterized by its glossy green leaves, which are often used for culinary and medicinal purposes in some cultures, as well as its fragrant white flowers that bloom throughout the year in warm climates. The plant produces small, edible fruits that are often used to make jams and preserves.
Murraya paniculata is commonly used as a hedge or screen plant, as it responds well to pruning and can be easily shaped into a dense, compact form. It is also a popular choice for bonsai enthusiasts due to its small size and attractive foliage. It is important to note that while the plant is relatively low maintenance, it can be sensitive to cold temperatures and may require protection or shelter during the winter months in cooler climates.
