Semi-hardy.

Pink and white scented

Semi shade

Semi-hardy, scrambling shrub or small tree that branches low and has a sparse narrow crown.  The dark green compound leaves have a winged main vein and are so glossy as to be almost mirror-like.  Clusters of lovely scented waxy pink and white flowers with tufts of purplish hair are borne form October to February followed by pear-shaped capsules enclosing seeds with papery wings.  This is a very decorative tree for a semi-shade position.
