It looks a lot like Pittosporum tobira. I think they smell like orange blossoms.

Yes, thanks ... oooh that wonderful smell.

Unfortunately, the website I visited says: "Evergreen shrub or small tree … Only for the mildest gardens near the sea coast.".

I have one, and it has a fantastic fragrance. I just wish it bloomed longer.

Your shrub/or little tree looks beautiful … your hometown looks beautiful too. So, are they pretty easy to keep?

Hi snasxs,

There are a few planted right in my neighborhood that seem to just go without any special attention. The one in my yard was planted a few years ago. Since then I have fertilized it once, and give it the occasional watering. In general, very easy in cultivation.

The fragrance is wonderfull. You just can't seem to get enough, kind of like the first time you get scent of a Plumeria, or any of the Citrus flowers. Very thick.

Thanks for the compliments on the tree and city. Here is closer look at the flowers on mine. Take care.
