RHS Shrubs
A fairly vigorous shrub, usually only up to 2m high inland, but up to 6m high in mild coastal areas, with broad-ovate, leathery, glossy dark green leaves up to 10cm long; the leaf margins have spine-tipped teeth, but leaves towards the tops of mature plants are often entire. Clusters of intensely-fragrant white flowers, each about 1cm across, appear in autumn, only occasionally followed by black fruit
