Choisya ternata (Mexican Orange)

LOCATION: Fletcher Moss, Manchester


Mexican Orange is a round evergreen shrub that grows up to 2.5m tall as well as wide. It prefers to grow in full sunlight and well drained soils. It is commonly seen in suburban areas used as an ornamental in front gardens.The flowers are white, star-shaped with five petals and grow in clusters. The green foliage is oblong with glossy and leathery surface which also grows in clusters. 

The shrub I found was located in Fletcher Moss.It was growing on one of the retaining walls in the residential property. It grew large enough that the branches started to hang fron the wall towards the ground. It ooked to be in a generally good condition. There were only few flowers appearing on the plant develops them during autumn and winter time. The shrub was very densely growing.
