Boxleaf Azara - Azara microphylla
The boxleaf azara is grown for a scent that arrives before you notice the plant. In late winter, tiny petal less yellow flowers open on the undersides of the branches and release a strong vanilla and chocolate fragrance that carries surprisingly far on still air. Azara microphylla itself is a narrow, elegantly layered small tree from the temperate rainforests of Chile, with minute glossy leaves arranged in flat, fern like sprays that make it as valuable out of flower as in it.
Why Boxleaf Azara
Winter Fragrance: Flowers in the depth of winter when almost nothing else is scented.
Fine Foliage: Leaves only a few millimetres long, held in flattened sprays, give a delicate layered look.
Narrow Footprint: Grows upright and slim, so it fits between a house wall and a boundary.
Wall Training: The naturally flat branch pattern makes it one of the easiest evergreens to espalier.
Shade Tolerance: Performs in part shade where most fragrant winter plants will not.
Ideal Applications
Espalier: Trained flat against a shaded south facing wall it becomes a living screen.
Side Garden Screen: The narrow habit suits tight service corridors beside a house.
Courtyard Specimen: Enclosed spaces hold the winter fragrance rather than losing it to wind.
Woodland Edge: Sits comfortably with tree ferns, hellebores and camellias in a cool shaded garden.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (screening/hedge): 1.5 to 2m
Spacing (feature/avenue): 3 to 4m
Best Planting Season: Autumn and early spring in temperate districts
Soil & Drainage: Cool, moisture retentive, humus rich soil with free drainage, since it resents a hot dry root zone
Establishment Care: Water weekly through the first two summers and keep 75mm of mulch over the root area at all times. Shelter young plants from hot dry north westerly wind and prune only as soon as flowering finishes, since buds form on the previous season's wood.
