MICHELIA CHAMPACA
Michelia is related to Magnolias but the flowers are not
as big and pretty. They are just as heavily scented though.
This Michelia is used to make "Joy" perfume.
Michelias grow fast to provide
shade. Trimming will be needed to keep it under control.
It blooms heavy in the spring, you can
trim it if necessary after the flowers are gone.
