Hi Jason R,

It looks like a serissa to me mate. I might be wrong though.

Cheers,

It's a verigated serrisa

Thank you for your help.

Are they a good beginner species?

Yes they are really easy, don't mind some hard pruning sometimes and flower which is always nice!!! They are also easy to repot, so yes a good tree for a beginner

'tis Serissa
also know as a "tree of a thousand stars" which is about the profusion of tiny white flowers.

Very pretty.

Ken

Thanks. Is it an evergreen?

Yes Jason they are evergreen, although in my mountain climate they often drop a lot of leaves during winter.

Cheers,
Mojo
