The original tree is located in the precincts of Shuzenji Temple in Izu City, Shizuoka Prefecture, and is considered to be open cross of Kanhizakura (C. campanulata) and Oshima Zakura (C. speciosa).
It is considered a hybrid of holly osmanthus (Osmanthus heterophyllus) and tea olive (Osmanthus fragrans). Like fragrant olive and tea olive, fragrant flowers bloom in leaf axils in bundles. It blooms a little later than fragrant olive, and has a more freshy scent. It is often used for hedges, etc.
It’s a very common wild plant resenble to lily (although it is not a true lily), delicately scented, growing on the sand dunes oh the Mediterranean and Black sea. The flowers have a pleasing, exotic and very subtle lily scent, which only becomes apparent during still, windless summer nights that allow the delicate fragrance to become perceptible.
